I was actually looking for a concrete (ideally peer-reviewed) proposal or, more preferably, an operational example or prototype, not an outline of lofty goals or possible models.  Does such exist?

I'll admit I'm still not clear what you believe the "international oversight mechanism" should do. You've been talking about how the evil USG will trample the contents of the root zone.  Presumably, the "international oversight mechanism" will be overseeing the operations of root zone modification as the USG does today. Since those operations must be based in some country, it isn't clear to me how the "international oversight mechanism" would be able to stop that country's government from going rogue and doing what you believe the evil USG will do.
