It appears that ICANN survived for now, but it's ultimate fate is yet to be decided. The WSIS conference in Tunis came up with a compromise to essentially leave ICANN (and thus the US) in charge of the Internet naming, but has provided a forum for further discussion. So, nobody is happy, but at least it wasn't a stalemate.
What I found interesting is that, apparently, 'where' is halfway between 'if' and 'when'. This was an apparent sticking point on terminology, but thanks to the Brits we were able to get from 'here' to 'there'.
