Headquartered in Marina Del Rey, California, ICANN is a California non-profit corporation that was created on September 18, 1998 in order to oversee a number of Internet-related tasks previously performed directly on behalf of the U.S. Government by other organizations, notably IANA.
ICANN was set up in California due to the presence of Jon Postel, who was a founder of ICANN and was set to be its first CTO prior to his unexpected death.
ICANN remains in the same building where Jon Postel worked, which is home to the Marina del Rey, California office of the Information Sciences Institute at the University of Southern California.

 ICANN, Internet Corporation For Assigned Names And Numbers
As a technical coordinating body, ICANN's mandate is not to "run the Internet." Rather, it is to oversee the management of only those specific technical managerial and policy development tasks that require central coordination: the assignment of the Internet's unique name and number identifiers.
ICANN describes their goal as being to "preserve the central coordinating functions of the global Internet for the public good." The ICANN has responsibility for the assignment of Internet protocol parameters, oversight of the domain name system, allocation of IP addresses, and management of the root server system.
The IANA also supports the ICANN in managing the assignment of Internet protocol parameters required to enable the Internet to operate in practice, and is supported by various organizations including the Internet Engineering Task Force, World Wide Web Consortium, International Telecommunications Union, and European Telecommunications Standards Institute.

 PC World - Internet's Management Scrutinizes Security
The move prompted critics to say that ICANN was ignoring other pressing matters including a study on how its at-large membership, ostensibly all Internet users, participate in its policy-making, and matters concerning country code domain names and new registries.
ICANN won't be focusing on Internet security as a general topic, he said, but rather will specifically examine the security of the domain system because that is the area ICANN influences.
Trying to counter the perception that ICANN had changed its focus, Lynn said that domain name security "was a subject of discussion before September 11 and will be a topic of discussion long after." ICANN's move to examine security issues was not a response to any specific threats, he said.

VeriSign claims that ICANN overstepped its authority as a technical coordination body in an attempt to become the "de facto regulator" of the Internet.
While the Internet began as a nonprofit experiment, it has since become a multibillion-dollar economic engine for tens of thousands of businesses and individuals across the planet, a global cultural network and an international communications hub.

And he requested additional input from the community.  Shortly afterwards Dr. Postel passed away.  I believe the name of the organization should be IANA, and I don't know of anyone who would have any objections to such a move.
All the authoritive root servers for the Internet's Domain Name System (currently there are 12 maintained by volunteers, the United States Government, the United States Military, Network Solutions, and the University of Southern California/Information Science Institute) should be under direct custody and maintenance of ICANN.
There is no real reason domain names must be in the second level (SLD) or higher.  They can be in the first (root) level as well.  One benefit (certainly not the only) of allowing open registration of TLDs in the root, would be easier, shorter domain names.
