> France got the "control" over the time which was delegated to the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM) headquatered in Paris. The BIPM was established in 1875 based a the socalled intergovernmental "Meter Convention" and it was responsible to oversee the "metric system". With other words, if our time has to be fixed now for another milisecond this is done in Paris (under French jursidiction),
Sorry Wolfgang,
I fear that some inexact points weaken your comparison.
- Place: Parc de Saint-Cloud, near Paris, but linked to the City of Sèvres.
- Status: BIPM is an international organization, created by an 
international treaty.
- Legal: the Pavillon de Breteuil, where is the BIPM, enjoys 
extraterritorial rights with headquarter agreement.
- Philosophy: Metric system and SI are the fruit of the French 
Revolution. About *universality* and for the worldwide public interest.
(Note that UK is still inside and outside...)
It was really for the benefits of all countries. ICANN is far from that 
step!

Let's support together the idea of an international treaty about 
Internet management?

Kind regards,
