Peter Sunde Wants To Create Alternative To ICANN

An anonymous reader writes "According to Peter Sunde's Twitter feed, he has been suspicious of ICANN for a long time. The non-profit corporation is tasked with managing both the IPv4 and IPv6 address spaces as well as handling the management of top-level domain name space including the operation of root nameservers. Sunde has lost a domain in the past because of the way ICANN acted. It was taken without any consultation on their part, instead the organization relied on information from recording industry group IFPI to change the domain ownership. But it seems for some reason his frustration has come to a head recently, and he has put a call out for help to create a competing root server."

ICANN declares man loser, loser vows to replace ICANN. Details at 11, or at 10 on that UHF station we co-own.

Why?

Can't he just ask the Chinese to redirect the domain to his server?
