Just studying a George Friedman's "The American Public's Indifference 
to Foreign Affairs" note. This could explain the odd mood of our 
American colleagues irt. ICANN and IANA MS globalization. They do not 
care much: the internet belongs now to their way of life, so does 
ICANN etc.  So, this is the right time to build FLOSS, international, 
IUsers, national, continental, etc. "complements".
