Dear Milton,

this contribution of yours is brillant. With the only limitation that 
the Internet you describe does not exist except in some academic and 
political brains. This is probably the reason why the internet 
governance you call for is intellectually appealing but practically 
inneffective.

The real network is the catenet. It is the substructure of all the 
communications technologies [protocol set] (one of them under 
TCP/IPv4/6 being the internet) between billions of people assisted by 
their machines. The substructure, the operations, the utilization are 
paid by us the people with our work and/or our money. The only thing 
we do not govern is the governance of the tables (AS, IPs, CLASS 
"IN") of that technology and the resulting benefits.

Now, the internet designers have decided to subject themsleves to the 
USG (the USIETF fork is to await the NTIA decisions 
http://www.ietf.org/blog/2015/01/taking-a-step-towards-iana-transition) 
as some FLOSS users are oganizing to take that governance back and to 
control their machines, names, addresses, protocols and parameters.

It will certainly take some time, but I bet that they will go faster, 
cheaper and better than what the I*core did since 1986 and since the 
WSIS. With the help of national laws to support the national catenet 
sovereignty and its neutral, Libre/Free support of the different 
technologies such as the internet, ndn, sdns, interplus, etc. and 
common services such as the ML-DNS (multi-ledger/CLASS - like ICANN 
for the "IN" ICANN/NTIA CLASS), and the catenet addressing.

The internet was a great project documented by IEN 48. However, it 
was blocked in the mid-80s by the status-quo strategy due to the 
TCP/IP inability to support its intended second phase, the world 
needs now to see completed. Civil society and Accademics seemed to be 
a possible way to address that issue. It turns out that this is not 
the case and that the solution (with the OSI layer six presentation) 
demands a revision/extension of the architecture. The IAB has decided 
to engage that work from/in the stack. Some Libre and other national 
teams (IAB is now to be understood as US-IAB) consider that this can 
be achieved at that catenet fringe to fringe layer (i.e. 
independently from the transportation technology, as an extension of 
the user interoperating system).

This makes the future of the world digital ecosystem and of networks exciting.
