indeed.

And a small nitpick with the original note:

         ICANN's scope is a very small set of three coordination 
activities.  It has taken on -- and been assigned -- nothing as extensive 
or ambitious as (all) technical coordination of the (entire) Internet.

         It sounds quite dramatic to overstate ICANN's scope, but it is not 
accurate.
