To be "fair" to everyone, the community should be in control of the
top-level domains, and not commercial organizations - nobody ever
expected the Internet to grow so huge (not even Al Gore).  So initially
having a government-run agency was a good temporary solution, but now
that everything is commercialized, we need to fix what's broken...and
what's broken is the monopoly on TLDs.
