Does ICANN Plan to Become Irrelevant ? Paul Vixie commonly expresses concerns about his various activities "remaining relevant". ICANN does not seem to care. Could it be because they are paid either way ? At what point does Verisign ask, "what value is ICANN?" At what point do the remaining Relevant-Registrars (5 or 6 of them?) ask, "what value is ICANN?" Neustar already sees the light and has .CO on a non-ICANN path along with .US. They appear to be interested in remaining relevant.
