IMHO if ICANN is moved to UN control, 2 things would become apparent.

ICANN is extremely slow as is in their processes, the UN would simply add layers upon layers of bureaucratic BS to an already slow to move body.

ICANN (I'm not 100% sure on this) would get a protective layer from lawsuits, court injunctions, and other legal processes. As of now they are an independent corporation (leaned on by govt I'm sure, note .xxx domain intervention) but should they screw something up, are accountable as such and can be ordered to redress their wrongdoings. The UN has been notorious for sliding follies and debacles under the rug only to be discovered when something spectacular comes along to wake everyone up.
