Holy crow! The EU actually got it together and told the US to go fly a kite: ICANN should be a global agency. This was just slashdotted, so most of you probably already know this, and thanks to Neal for the heads-up, but just in case (like me) you were one of the six people who hadn't read it, check out the Guardian's article on it.
Neal pointed out that this is one of the first times the EU, with one voice, looked the US square in the eye and said "We're an 800 pound gorilla, too." and went toe to toe. In this case, with the court of global opinion behind them, they are clearly going to get their way. It's good that we're being reminded we are but 5% of the world population, and we really do have to play nice with others.
