I will, and I come from a slightly different direction. Yeah, I was the founding chair of ICANN, which stands for Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, and the domain names and the numbers are the IP addresses that are completely impossible to remember. And as you said, the purpose of ICANN, in a sense, was to, quote, make sure it was owned by the people and not by the governments.

And... It was created, it was an immaculate conception because it really was a creation of the EU and Iron Magazine and the U.S. government trying to fill the vacuum of control over this internet. with something that would keep out not just the government, but basically predatory capital.

And I would say it worked better keeping out the governments than keeping out the predatory capital, because at this point, the domain name system is like a protection racket, but it's a relatively cheap one. But when, I don't know, streamyard.com, there's probably streamyard.info, streamyard.net, And the only one that people remember is stringyard.com.

You get these multiple domain names because they keep bringing out new top-level domains. And somebody who's focused on this makes a lot of money. Someone who's just using the system doesn't pay too much money, so there's no real... serious effort to clean up that market. There's a lot of spam and M1CR0 Microsoft. There's all kinds of fake names and scams and so forth.

So I would say that ICANN did not really deal with the problem of, if you like, corporate governance. And now that it was a positive thing, it's mattering less now because You can now type into ChatGPT what you want. You don't need the right domain name. And so search and the use of domain names are both becoming less and less important.

Meanwhile, ICANN did keep the number system organized in place, fairly reliable. But it's sad. To me, it didn't actually fulfill its original mission. We now have bigger problems. And we can go into the loneliness and disconnection, which is what I can do to not do is pretty irrelevant to. Let me know where you want me to head.
