I have been hearing near panic about the transfer of ICANN.
It has been reported that ICANN has only become independent and is a nonprofit corporation.
I have been running into roadblocks finding out the names of the people
that have authority over running it and what standard is used to run it
and to whom they are beholden.
This is disturbing to me as an advocate for near absolute freedom of information.
I would like to hear your thoughts on this :

The one issue with this seems to be the need for wide adoption,
but it seems to be to DNS and censorship of sites as steemit is to censorship of information,
minus the curation, flag, dynamic.
ICANN can disappear your DNS address at will.
This Meowbit, namecoin incorporates .bit addresses into it's blockchain,
where they cannot be removed, making ICANN irrelevant.

There is also a great interview with Michael Dean and Derrick Slopey available to members of http://www.gnosticmedia.com
but I could not find a non-member link. The membership is well worth it, though.
