Perhaps now is the time for it [.edu] to be thrown open for global 
multistakeholder governance[1], alongside IANA.

nb. I am not suggesting the same be necessarily done right away for .mil 
and .gov, because these appear to have a much more defacto legacy as 
"The US military" and "The US Government".

Although eventually both of those might perhaps be moved to .mil.us and 
.gov.us in order to conform with the rest-of-the-globe standard for such 
things.

Then we could have urls like yourministry.yourcountry.gov, rather than 
them being Balkanised across the ccTLDs.

[1] That governance could decide to keep the status quo of
    "US EDUcation", but it should at least be debated.
