But not a regular treaty, but one in which governments sign onto it, but cede much of their power to civil society, academics, the technical community and business. Oh yes, and End Users, a rather undefined term in their context. I'm really good at putting large efforts into difficult projects, because there is merit in their success, but this one sounds just a bit (ok, a lot) too "iffy" for my comfort.

Of course it doesn't exist now but we are in a transition phase so perhaps its timely.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but isn't Parminder's thought bottom-up, and in-line with the multi-stakeholder concept? (And I see some merit in his concerns about gTLD governance.)
The Treaty Model which Parminder argues for requires signature from UN Member States. http://www.un.org/en/member-states/ Where is Civil Society? Where are End Users? Where are the Technical & Academic Communities? Where is the Private Sector?
