I like my internet the way it is. Between these guys and the UN demanding rules for the 'net, they can all kiss my hairy @$$.

A followup. He presents some good reasons as to why we should rest control away from ICANN. However, nobody seems to be offering an alternative that I like.

A good summary of the situation:

This pretty much sums it up:
Europe and American have a fundamentally differing philosophies on global governance. Europeans tend to value process more, while Americans prefer results. The EU itself was born out of a process whose aim was to prevent new war in Europe and, thus, the EU is valued for its own sake irrespective of its inefficiencies. Americans find it difficult to love multilateral bodies that don't produce results -- or might endanger achievement.
