ICANN is still a necessary evil, but the idea is to make them as disposable or substitutable as possible. Same with DNS, a necessary evil, but there is a possibility of building an alternative namespace that resolves to npub resources.

This is a long game.

Thank you.

The Fedimint crew has leaned into iroh for to reduce dependency on DNS, which was awesome to see.

Still need IP though for transport though.

I view ICANN/IP like the public roads infrastructure. Works for 99.999% of the time. It’s that 0.001% situation where all hell breaks loose if there is no alternative.
