So what are your proposals to improve the system, then?

I agree with you that ICANN doesn't work.

As for the RIPE NCC, at least in the last few years, things have been
reasonably well - not perfect, IPv6 things have been too conservative
and too slow, but overall "a situation people can live with".  Which 
is pretty much the most that can be expected from such a sort of
"sort-of grass-roots buerocracy".
