NSI *did* go rogue.  They're still levying a toll on much of the net.  
What ended up becoming ICANN was originally an attempt to keep NSI in
check - too bad it's mostly turned out to be ineffective.

If there was a mistake made, it was in ever letting the master root 
be controlled by a for-profit company.  By the time Jon tried his
'experiment' it was (sadly) far too late.
