Milton,
When the municipal government in (say) Syracuse creates/recognizes
"air rights" over a downtown building, and those become marketable
and the next property buys them to build a tall building next
door, they are a product. From the vantage point of a trained
economist, I don't see how the notion of product will not be
brought to bear here. There are too many legal issues and
externalities involved for that to not happen.
As for ICANN, let the process unfold and in a decade, or less,
after some case law and interventions at various levels of
governance, we can revisit your question.
I am happy to stand or fall based on the evidence as it rolls out,
or or doesn't.

I purposefully used "product" since the mantra within
ICANN is that being a "regulator and coordinator of
the global DNS" means that it is not engaged in
product production.
And
you think it is engaged in product production? What is
its product, pray tell?
