Talk:Alternatives to ICANN

"alternatives to ICANN" should be the preferred (official) title for this article. It is more straightforward and direct; and reflects the information most Wikipedia users would be after...

What this page should be about
Alternatives to ICANN, which include the US DoC with no control, the UN, the ITU, and more.

What a Patent Mess
This article infers a lot by even appearing in the Wikipedia, there should be a template that flags articles for either deletion or merge that seem to suggest a particular view simply by existing. By the Alternatives to ICANN article existing, a casual viewer of the article might take the impression, without any verification or supporting fact, that alternatives to ICANN are even required. Where an article to exist called "Alternatives to Microsoft Windows" there would be an intrinsic suggestion that Microsoft Windows inherantly requires alternatives, therefore we have individual articles for each of the actual alternatives to Microsoft Windows (Linux etc).

I suggest this article be merged into ICANN as a criticisms section or something similar, and it can therefore be subjected to editorial review by other wikipedians. I can't help but feel that this article is hiding here.
