To clarify, this isn't an accurate representation of my position (if that was your intent).  A better representation would be "These aren't the droids you're looking for".  Using non-factual horrors a rogue version of the USG could attempt to inflict upon the Internet as justification for giving "oversight control" (whatever that means) to an undefined UN body is, in my view, unhelpful as it distracts from more potentially useful efforts in attempting to create a less-US-centric oversight mechanism of what ICANN actually does do.
