Although I don't think that ICANN came up with the best TLD's, I also don't
believe that a completely distributed decision making process would be any
better. It's difficult enough to find the correct information without
confusing everything further.

Subject: "...cast bright lights on all who would destroy freedom in the
world..."
http://www.icdri.org/words_for_all_of_us_from_vinton_.htm
"Now, more than ever, the Internet must be wielded along with other media to
cast bright lights on all who would destroy freedom in the world.
Information is the torch of truth and its free flow is the bloodstream of
democracy."
ICANN destroys freedom by rejecting companies far more qualified
than those selected to launch new TLDs.
The IETF leaders destroy freedom by censorship.
The "toy" IPv4 Internet is a sewer.
IPv8 is designed to be a swamp to cover the sewer.
IPv16 is the "high-ground"....
