Brexit vote shows that last minute mass market education of complex issues and realities is likely futile in the face of political rage and opportunism. That work should have been prioritised in 2000 and again on ICANNs reforms over the last decade. My personal view is that the best way to have stabilised this is for Internet users to have direct participation in IP and Domain allocations they use. But Internet users have been pushed so far from having a direct say in their domain names or IP address allocations by ICANN, IANA, RIRs and LIRs that their very disengagement now risks the edifice that has been built by for those who kept them out.

At very least, ICANN should have by now come up with an education program that explained what is proposed, and why this is a good thing, in a form understandable by *everyone*. Perhaps there is a fear that, once explained in simple terms, the proposed transition will actually attract more public opposition than support. This fear is justified.
I'd say ICANN plus IETF plus the RIRs should have done that. I haven't seen anything such. Anyone?
