Thank you for this document which is an excellent historical 
political (but not technical) summary. As a result, I am afraid there 
are in your text:
* an explicit bug: in Towards a Soft Law Approach, point 2: "All 
parties support the historically grown architectural principles of an 
open Internet (e2e)"
* an implicit bug: there is no mention of the ICANN/NETIA strategic 
BUG (wanting to be unilateral global).

The second one is a well known one. The fist one is less known as it 
is not necessarily technical: it is the confusion many make between 
the end, edge and fringe. What to you mean by e2e, most probably end 
to end and not edge to edge. While in reality if the internet service 
provision is end to end, it use is fringe to fringe, and its problems 
mostly come from the unballance in consideration brought to the edge providers.

Please note that if you consult the well documented wikipedia page on 
the End to End principle 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-to-end_principle) you will seach 
"edge" and "fringe" in vain while RFC 1958 (Architectural Principles 
of the Internet) states that "The network's job is to transmit 
datagrams as efficiently and flexibly as possible. Everything else 
should be done at the fringes" and does not consider edges.

IRT. edges, the best definition I found is CISCO's: "The Internet 
edge is the network infrastructure that provides connectivity to the 
Internet, and that acts as the gateway for the enterprise to the rest 
of the cyber space". 
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/solutions/Enterprise/WAN_and_MAN/Internet_Edge/InterEdgeOver.html

As long as politicians confuse end, edge, fringe, apps, and brains 
(where naming roots) we will not be able to work any consensually 
stable and acceptable solution. This is not because VGNs have not 
been identified/accepted so far as the main constituant type of the 
digital system that it is not it.
