mr.crocker thank you for clarifaying some facts any representative of any government/nation hase some of very fine and useful qualitys and so also the officers of the american government they help to organize and to find consensus in their society-in our case the next step of the development of the internet domain name system as you and some other folks have mentioned the politician and officers hase good diplomatic skills and trys to "make everybody happy" but they have not absolute knowledge in any aspects of live so they was not expert on internet so they learn and profit from experts like iana isoc iab ietf so the proposals of the usg hase their roots in the knowledge of internet founders-this are not only the people who pays money :-) BUT as ANY poltician today hase a problem with beeing LIMITED to the concept of ONE NATION so also the american government and hier is exactly the chalenge for the poltical science and management system they have to evolve in the face of internet the internet hase his origin in the united states of america but it is become a global system-wich is not entayerly builded by america allone:-) so there is the chalenge on both side on the side of the internet community to learn from governments how to manaege complex systems and to government to learn how to be a part of a common management of the planet earth system if we see the ideology of a national state and the ideologie of the internet than the internet is superior and its leads the political development so the internet is the superior political entity and poeple who hase understand this they angage them self in building up the internet as the new management system for the society of the planet earth the internet is the new government of the planet earth and it hase its own politicians one of them is dr.jon postel and many of his colegues who all together work for the vision of a new age where the boundaries of national states are nothing more wich will devide us becouse we have the internet wich unity us the aproach of the us government is nationalistic and bears no global visions and also dont meets the development at the present time so there is the need for involvment of the political systems into internet liek the commerce was involved into internet but neither commerce or policy can be the highest autority for the internet so this is the mesage the internet wants to give them
