Everything you do is political in some way. Saying that you're worried about DNS becoming a political football implies it isn't already. It is. From ICANN's self-serving lunacy (don't lift that rock unless you have time to go down some very deep and fairly scuzzy rabbit holes), to domain seizures by governments (and private companies like Microsoft), DNS is already political. So is every other part of the internet infrastructure. Examples: the great firewall of china, registering to get porn in the UK [1], payment processors refusing to handle donations to Wikileaks [2]. The question isn't "should DNS and/or Internet infrastructure be political?"...because it already is. The question is "whose politics should it follow?"
