ICANN, the non-profit corporation which oversees the backbone of the internet, has a new CEO in the person of Rod Beckstrom, former director of US National Cybersecurity Center. He takes over ICANN in a rather tumultuous time, and during a press conference, he put forth some of his ideas on how ICANN should work. Basic gist: the internet works fine, so there's little need for change.

I really hate getting back to a political model, but ... what would be easier? For a monarch to say "go do this now," or for a congress of individuals who all have agendas to get together to try and decide to do something?
The problem isn't that a "democracy" is needed.

You seem really clueless about the topic it seems? - try to dig around and see what problems people are complaining about instead of just saying that there are no problems because you are not aware of them. I am sure your local search provider will be more than helpful.
However, regardless of this, it is still not beneficial for a process that one entity has all the power. The internet is for the masses and as such (in lack of direct democracy) should be run by a representative democracy.
