Iīm surprised there havenīt been any threads on this already. My personal opinion is the US should maintain control over the root DNS servers, based on the Donīt fix what isnīt broken / Donīt mess with success principle.

Plus I think the UN is more corrupt than the US government, and giving them control will ultimately lead to worldwide taxation.

Furthermore, the internet is just a network that started in the USA. Thereīs nothing stopping other countries from setting up their own network, with their own root DNS servers, with their own ICANN orgainization.
