If one says 'all the countries' or even 'the countries' protesting US
lordship on the ICANN it may include most non-US countries, because all of
them may oppose it to some level or other. However if you say 'some
governments' that protest this lordship, it would , normally in a dialogue
with a global scope, be taken to mean mostly developing countries, because
they are the clearest, strongest and most vocal opponents. I gave you some
proofs of this in my earlier email.  

It is however a very different matter if the constellation of your analysis
only considers developed countries. This is something that I did not
suspect, which, in the circumstance of the global-ness of this mailing list,
I think cant be held against me.
