Depends on the country! It's easy not to see the problem when one's home country's policies about permissible Internet content are no more liberal than those of the country that controls ICANN. But I can imagine some friction if the situation were flipped. If, say, China were to control ICANN, I think a lot of people should be concerned given its pervasive efforts to control Internet content. Other countries like Russia and India, while not in China's league, could also present censorship issues. Maybe they would have the good sense not to enforce these policies at the ICANN level...but they also might not.
