The comments made by Dr. Twomey concern me as well, but in fact I don't
think he was threatening anybody, but simply state a belief, which is that
the most likely event in case of a failure of ICANN is that the whole matter
will be ruled by an international organization operating under a sort of
international agreement.
My personal opinion is that this is exactly what is going to happen. There
is no way you can convince the governments not to step in if the ICANN
solution will fail. Whether the outcome will be an international body with
specific intergovernmental status like ITU, FAO, or other UN organizations,
or a different type of body like ICAO, InMarSat, etc., is open to debate,
but the direction seems pretty clear to me.
