This was expected. We still have one year to technically correct the 
roots of this "monopoly". It actually results from the Internet 
technology unilateralism empowered in the lack of OSI Layer 6 
"presentation". This question has lead to the blocked debate at the 
IETF WG/IDNABIS opposing france at large to Vint Cerf (VP, Google). The 
question is simple : is the way humanity express itself in the 
digital space and era to be unique and controlled by the US industry 
leaders gathered in the Unicode consortium and/or in the Internet Society?

States are human national communities' self-power on their weapons. 
That weapons are physical, intellectual, virtual. War is only the 
continuation of diplomacy with other means. IGF is the much needed 
consensual step before diplomacy is needed.

Time has come to impose some control on some large pirate gangs who 
led us to the present crisis in the way they use the Internet (using 
speed to create minute digital money while law still only considers 
guarranties of daily scriptural money). If the US Government is 
unable to take care of them, it certainly needs help due to the 
impact on the rest of the world, in particular due to the Internet 
unilateralism (technology and resulting governance). This help has to 
do with Police, Banking regulations, corruption cleaning, renewal of 
the political class with people educated in the reality of our present world.

If strength is needed against merchant monopoly to restore a human 
centric society (the purpose of the IGF) we have to accept it while 
trying to minimize it. Surgical bimillion dollars bombing seems not 
to succeded. When this is over, an international diplomatic cleaning 
will be necessary before the IGF may efficiently resume in a usefull 
and efficeint context.

My hope is that a technical cleaning, i.e. documenting how to unlock 
the "presentation" layer, may permit a probably blunt, but complete 
reshuffling of the Internet context that Developping Countries could 
accept. In Tunis they had been fooled by Martin Boyle's European make 
believe attitude which actually helped David Gross to so simply 
secure the deal for the USA that he was surprised China here answers 
the Martin Boyle's trick repetition by Mrs. Reding - with her 
proposition of a G-12. We stop, or China as the 11th member of the 
G-12 take steps to impose their vision to the NA and EU reps. 
Question: why does not Paul Twomey renew, because he would not sit 
there for Australia and IANA, but would do the NZ, through PDT as the 
ICANN Chair?
