At one point we had over 80 ccTLDs give their explicit support of our stand to honor RFC 1591 and to reject what seemed like ICANN's shift toward government control, embodied in ICANN's IPC-1.
Just to clarify the record. Any shift toward 'governmental control' predates ICANN. There is not a single word in ICP-1 that was not derived from the pre-ICANN era, and the solitary sentence on the role of governments is from Jon Postel. Language lawyers may be interested in the attached comparison, extracted from a draft document I am in the process of writing. kim
