I know ICANN is an international board, but they still ultimately answer to the US government, which is what is at debate right now in Tunisia.

This is simply not true. The US government, in addition to several other governments, is a client of ICANN. The issue is not one of moving responsibility from a US government organization to a UN group (which I would support), but of trying to involve government in a role that is currently performed by the nonprofit, nongoverning ICANN. That would be bad, but as Bitt noted it can't happen without everyone's permission (actually, I bet microsoft could take over the job pretty easily, but fortunately they haven't made the attempt yet).
