<pre wrap="">France got the "control" over the time which was delegated to the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM) headquatered in Paris. The BIPM was established in 1875 based a the socalled intergovernmental "Meter Convention" and it was responsible to oversee the "metric system". With other words, if our time has to be fixed now for another milisecond this is done in Paris (under French jursidiction), </pre>

I fear that some inexact points weaken your comparison.<br>
- Place: Parc de Saint-Cloud, near Paris, but linked to the
City of Sèvres.</small></small><br>
</font>- Status: BIPM is an international organization, created by
an international treaty.<br>
- Legal: the Pavillon de Breteuil, where is the BIPM,
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
enjoys extraterritorial rights with headquarter agreement.<br>
- Philosophy: Metric system and SI are the fruit of the French
Revolution. About <b>universality</b> and for the worldwide public
interest.<br>
(Note that UK is still inside and outside...)<br>
It was really for the benefits of all countries. <span class="std">ICANN

Let's support together the idea of an international treaty about
Internet management?<br>
