Imram,

there is a long time that the Internet is split among "world 
leaders": only one believes it can be the leader of leaders of the 
network of networks (ICANN) - and one believes it is (NTIA). This is 
not societally and architecturally viable. What is too sad is that 
the true leaders should be those who pay: the people (cf. Geneva 
Declaration of a people centric society). Unfortunately the civil 
society has not helped much the emergence of the people's digital 
community. It is true however that NGO's of any brand are by essence 
level with Government's in term of Internet Use: they belong to the 
structures' layer. Also, ICANN plaid well with a limited amount of 
money to attract the @large fringe that can talk but not write code.

As IUsers (Internet intelligent use users) we only need to be helped 
coordinating our own MDRS (meta-data registry multilingual 
distributed reference system) and specifying for the FLOSS community 
the software extensions we need so we may live and use the whole 
digital ecosystem in peace. This is basically what the "Internet+" 
is: the free and protected use layer above the "Internet legacy architecture".

Since, IGF was not interested, civil society ignored us and 
merchants' techies opposed us, we found another way. We entered the 
IETF as contributing Internet users (IUCG), we made validated by Vint 
Cerf (as the Google Chair of the IETF/WG/IDNAbis) and other leaders, 
the true Internet architecture (RFC 761, 1958, 3439) through the 
IDNA2008 example. We made sure the IESG and IAB understood well, and 
we leave Google+/Public DNS to take, as a result, the "structured 
bodies layer" leadership, you mention. So when Google+ has proven to 
FLOSS people the viability of our extended reading of the old 
Internet architecture and 6000 RFCs, they will find our Interplus+ 
documentation, and possibly our software prototypes if they take and 
talk time enough.

Whatever, ICANN, consortia (Google leads the Unicode consortium) and 
governments do and NGO do not do, the Internet technology, we now 
freed from them (through the subsidiarity virus), will win because 
TCP/IP is deployed so much that they cannot fully change it, even 
with DNSSEC, IPv6 mismanagement, and opposition to IPSec.

Take care !
