I'd like a lot to learn from you where that decision was
written?<br>
Some can consider that as long as the USG oversights ICANN,
it means that ICANN should escape anti-trust laws.<br>
Other claim that ICANN is nearly an international ONG, that
should receive a sort of immunity.<br>

The true nature and rules of Internet Governance (IG)
may be sometimes uneasy to clarify for people in Europe.
I don't dare imagine what a nightmare it could be for
us, you and me, if IG was managed by Indians or Chinese

writings, Indians or Chinese laws, Indian or judicial
systems, etc.<br>
