Jim Wagner, writing in Internet News: "Bret Fausett, a member of ICANN's At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) and author of the Lextext blog on Internet domain issues, said the EU proposal will certainly make it popular with developing countries who want more say in the Internet governance process. But it wasn't a particularly risky move for the EU to make, he said, because they are secure in the knowledge the U.S. is adamant about not giving control to the U.N."

Yeah, what he said. ;-)
