Lawrence Strickling of the US Dep't of Commerce wrote to ICANN yesterday reiterating the US government's unhappiness with ICANN's rush to new TLDs, and in particular their abandoning the registry-registrar split. A copy of the letter is on the ICANN web site. That letter refers to a letter to the ICANN board from the European Commission dated June 14th. I have been unable to find a copy of that letter. Has anyone here seen it?
