[governance] "US Exceptionalism" (was Re: Bloomberg - The Overzealous Prosecution...)

[Milton L Mueller]

The options most people put forward are: 
 - oversight by one  nation-state (the status quo)
 - oversight by all nation-states on the basis of sovereign parity, as in the UN system
 - or some hybrid, such as the EU proposal to create what was in effect an IG "security council" of a few privileged states to provide oversight.

Advocates of denationalization reject all those options and believe ICANN creates an opportunity for a new form of global governance organic to the internet. They want ICANN's policy making processes to be accountable to global community of internet users directly.
