Since you ears are opened :
There are some other ways indeed,  simply put ICANN in the place it 
belongs :
a namespace service providers among other ones...
ie opening the competition to DNS services.

I Can  ( monopoly )  -->  We can ( competition )

For sure, as the phone business,
  ICANN,  the "historic" namespace  service provider would remain for years
 the  main player, but the clock in cybertime is running fast.

What I am all ears is about concrete proposals of multistakeholders 
governance within
the new DNS/ classes/,  learning from the flaws of ICANN.
The governance models could be diverse and adapted to each/ class/.

Bla bla should be avoided as well as declarations of noble principles
everybody agrees upon, but that takes all the bandwidth required
for an effective discussion.

What is needed  are effecient mechanisms with a sound legal basis,
not with a mixed brew of corporate and governement "memos"
and "agreements".
I did propose sometimes ago the UNMSP scheme.
