See

http://www.internetgovernance.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/SecuringTheRoot.pdf

by our friend Milton.

And despite writing this, while he advocates for the root to be freed 
from US's executive authority, he is not ready to also free it from US's 
legal and legislative authority.... Just freedom from executive 
authority has little meaning, because not only a law can be created by 
the US establishment at any time to do whatever it needs to do in its 
national interest, there are existing laws that can any time be used to 
interfere with the root, for instance, enabling laws related to the 
Office of Foreign Assets Control (a foreign gTLD or ccTLD is of course a 
foreign asset 'in the US').

As a US citizen Milton may not care, but it is for us of other countries 
to care at least...

Milton, I may be wrong in characterising the implication of the ICANN 
globalisation/ internationalisation proposal that you advocate, in which 
case please do correct me....
