Who do you think the "Imperial Republic" is :-) ????
Neither the United States of Australia nor the Union Sud-Africaine ...   :-)
Cheers!



PS. You did not quote back the most important part of my mail. Happily all 
of them misunderstand the Internet from the very beginning (they take it 
for what they wanted, not for what was built). You cannot "take back" the 
Internet. They Internet does not exist and never was theirs. It is like 
Chinese "taking back" the Chinese language.

Again, the Internet is OUR consensus to interconnect OUR machines using the 
TC/IP protocol set and the IP and domain naming plans. The management of 
this consensus of OURS is OUR Internet governance, gathering those feeling 
concerned (@large). We organize OUR governance to OUR OWN benefit through 
OUR dedicated interest structures (constituencies, working groups, 
associations etc... ) for OUR "netwide" concerns, and at individual level 
for the representation of OUR individual, noncomm or business interests, in 
relation with OUR national bodies (Gov, NICs, Dedicated Interest Groups 
national chapters).

The place of the USG as the place of every other government and governance 
center is well defined. Even if some are more equal han others, even in an 
interconnect.This is the way the system is.

I fully accept the human nature loves curbing reality to its own fancies. 
The is an obvious mission creep at dominance by the ICANN for various 
motives. You are right the USG is sponsoring it as do the others (big 
business, job protection, money). The impact can certainly be serious. For 
the worst if the US society in general falls in the terrorists' trap, for 
the better I feel otherwise.

If you look at the international situation since the 11th Sept, you will 
notice that the USG has learned a lot. And if you look at History, 
communication routes have mostly been open, built and enlarged by 
militaries. I would certainly welcome NATO professionals to take over what 
our ICANN amateurish crowd has failed. At least for a time. Rough, 
entertaining, but globally positive.
