From my point of view, I don’t believe the UN wants to take over the internet.
And indeed, the way is another.
It wants to ensure that the Internet is broad, secure and integrated because freedom of communication embodies human rights and increases wealth.
Freedom of communication guarantees a globalized world and that is the solution to reduce poverty.
And it will not happen without internet broad access.
But a concern for ITU has been the monopoly.
No country can have internet monopoly
So I see that dual root for DNS should always be a reason for surveillance.
IF ICANN has the Internet in hand this is correct because the principles within ICANN are in the same sense as the United Nations and there is a collective conscience to the detriment of monopolizing powers.
There is no competition between UN, ICANN and ITU , but there is cooperation.
Governance is done through cooperation and this achieves humanitarian ends without being an obstacle to corporate profits.

The Self Governing Internet: Complete with no updated whistleblower process, at least until June 2017. At that time the process will still be an internally reviewed phone call-in process, just more trustworthy than the phone call-in process is now… wait, so if the process isn’t 100% trustworthy now… and the new process won’t be ready for 9 more months…

What effective whistleblower process has any kind of review by those within the same entity? Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of the term “whistleblower”. Why wait 9 months to have that process completed in the first place? Why not have the whistleblower process ready on day 1 (Oct 1)?
I’ve requested answers to these questions from those in government at at ICANN who should know the answers, I was provided the links above as their response, but that’s it, there is zero ability on behalf of the multistakeholder community to answer any of the questions you see in this comment. If the U.S. media was acting as the 4th estate maybe they could access their unique investigative abilities and verify the process.
