[At-Large] R: R: R: Is ICANN's oversight really moving away from the US government?

[Alan Greenberg]

So, as I understand things, we want to convince the governments of 
the world to enter into a new treaty where there does not seem to be 
a huge amount of current interest. But not a regular treaty, but one 
in which governments sign onto it, but cede much of their power to 
civil society, academics, the technical community and business. Oh 
yes, and End Users, a rather undefined term in their context.

I'm really good at putting large efforts into difficult projects, 
because there is merit in their success, but this one sounds just a 
bit (ok, a lot) too "iffy" for my comfort.
