On the other hand, if we start from the assumption that no change 
whatsoever would ever be accepted by the US, then we can all go home :-)
So I would rather try to figure out some minimally invasive changes that 
can satisfy some requests from the rest of the world and still not be 
too shocking for the US.

For example, when talking to the present ICANN management, I did not 
have the impression that they were prejudicially opposite to moving the 
legal seat of the corporation or changing its legal form. What the US 
thinks might be different, but still it is to be understood what will 
happen if, in Tunis, the US will be totally isolated (with the exception 
of Canada, Australia and New Zealand, of course) - which is what many 
countries now seem to aim at.
