I don't remember accepting anything. Do you? Does anybody?
The US Government as much as forced us to accept "the standard", whether we
liked it or not. And more importantly - whether we're inside our outside
their juristiction. ICANN is just an extension of the US Government, no
matter what anyone says to the contrary.
Personally, although I can see some problems with opening up the root
servers, I think it would be a good thing - a very good thing. The problems
will just have to be resolved - new policies and guidelines, new ways of
handling things. It's called "progress". Look it up.
Me, I can't wait to have my own TLD. And as soon as I have enough money to
set it up, you can be sure I will...

PS. Joe Baptista mentioned setting up .satan. Surely it should be .devil?
Or .demon? Alliteration man, alliteration! :)
