Yes, the USG did create a process that bears their imprimatur.  They still have
 to approve the results, as a matter of fact.  

I'll give you one point for being good at word games, Chris.   But I won't get
caught up in them with you.

The current process bears the approval and direct supervision of the USG, who
specifically gave ICANN the authority to move forward with creating a plan for
adding new gTLDs.    Prior to this,  IANA had no authority to mange any new
process with regard to new gTLDs without specific approval of the USG.
