This, the allusion to regulating authorities, and the excellent review of Michael show that this debate is of interest only for the American market. Nothing against that but it demonstrates that you guys only undersand ICANN as the US Super, the agency to manage the Internationalised US portion of the Internet. Which progressively decreases from 95% to 20%. This means that we have two problems: 1. the current debate which is of interest to US users. 2. the relations (intergovernance) of the US Intenet part governance with the other national, language, cultural, corporate, etc. Internet part governances. Problem #1 will never be sold as long as problem #2 is not identified and accepted by ICANN. Problem #2 will never be sold as long as the IETF has not identified and accepted the distributed nature of the DNS and provided a common consistent way to support the diversity of the networks of the network of the networks. Since it is likely that neither Problem #1 nor Problem #2 will be identified and accepted by ICANN and IETF before a long. You can discuss at length Joe Touton's legalnet. But if you want it to be useful for you, you should do it in the context of the alternative reality which is a Google services centric progressive take-over of the US Internationalised Internet, opposed by a grassroots multilingual multilateral multinational user centric evolution focusing on distributed services. jfc
