I take some exception to this statement, as the Internet as a whole is
not "governed" by the USG.  The role that NTIA has is a very minor one
in that it "rubber-stamps" changes to the rootzone file.

I think it's useful to keep in mind that the vast majority of Internet
Governance has traditionally been done by non-governmental actors.

John is correct, the situation is highly unlikely to change, it seems
that energies directed toward that change could be more usefully spent
on other things.  A FAQ is not a bad idea at all.
