Wolfgang,

There is a simple test. The IDNgTLD constituency. On May 23rd, ICANN 
says if they want to stay US centered or internationalized in 
accepting or not that constituency.
http://gnso.icann.org/en/improvements/newco-process-en.htm

This is not what we really want (we want multilingualization), but to 
answer no would mean that ICANN does not want a global Internet if it 
is not US coordinated. And payed.

The opposition to the continuation of the IGF as we could read it is 
nothing to do with the IGF, but to the continuation of it being paid 
by ICANN. This is why some want to improve it as a G11+ICANN, and 
others want to close it to protect the world from the "+ICANN".

Why did Paul Towmey resigned? He only had a chance to stay: 
Internationalized Internet. No one wants it. Some want the 
Internationalized Googlenet. Others want the Multilingual Internet. 
Others wants a free (from US and from money) Internet (they call it a 
neutral internet when they add from "technology"). May be too much to ask for.
