Am I the only one uneasy with «cyber» crime ? A crime is a crime whatever the media is used.
While that's true, media or territory may determine the jurisdiction.
So RIPE & al are in a pretty uncomfortable position I guess, because it is not their job to substitute themselves to the governments, while being held responsible for the good state of internet legal cooperation mechanisms.
IMHO, when there will be enough NGOs to deal with every relevant aspect of life, we'll be finally able to dismiss governments altogether. Nowadays, it has been extensively demonstrated how deceptive advertisement, cheats, and profit-driven decision making can fool away traditional implementations of "democracy". Perhaps, the role of the Internet in the history of mankind is exactly to overcome those issues (including the ones I haven't quoted from your previous message).
