Hans,
do you really believe that the US will give up the security and 
stability of the Internet, just because some CS groups or governments 
ask this?

That's the key point - do you think the US Government would agre on 
internationalization, which leads to some principles, that may end 
one that that the imaginative country of Nurdany, which doesn't face 
the "ideally - elected governemnt" situation, will come to serve as 
chairing some body, that actually decides what and how should be 
governed on the Internet?

Do you think that there's a lot of room for discussions in the next 
5-10 years in the WSIS format, but also with better organized 
participation of developing countries. The discussion should try to 
work on the best possible model, with all parties involved?
