I know, Norbert.
My point is that the Internet is not created by the "evil American 
imperialists" so that one day they can "switch it off" or threaten 
the world they might do that, but rather it is created by many many 
people, institutions, companies, etc. And the right questions is not 
"who governs the Internet", but "what governs the Internet". Once 
people start to understand that the "governer" are the standards, the 
policy processes, and they can be part of this, then the IGF may even 
start to produce something positive, not just headlines in the newspapers.
