One of the reasons for creating ICANN in the first place was to begin the transition from the U.S. owns the Internet mentality of the DARPA days to something more global. On the other hand, it's a simple fact that as of today, the Yanks run the show. That has to change, and electing at-large directors by region is a good first step in that direction.
