If it's already so darn bad with the US controlling everything (and from what you and so many on these lists say it is), then how bad could it be if the UN were involved. I mean it stinks right now right...so if the UN idea failed then we'd be no worse off than we are right now. In that case I say hey Give it a Try. It can't hurt..... FWIW, I don't think it is going to make much difference. The present "stakeholders" (not the Individual DNS users) will quickly find their way into the lobby of any opaque UN governance structure. Formally, the At Large will be worse off. Governments generally claim to represent their citizens and will argue against the need for further layers of accountability or user representation. --Joop-- www.icannatlarge.com
