The RIRs show they decide, without USG approval, unlike ICANN/Verisign 
which had to wait for a Washington's OK (and "authorization" to maintain a 
14th root server). This is not really technical cosmetic but contract 
negotiation policy. Also a way to step into the DNS management field and to 
cover their local interests.
Yet in doing so they use ICANN's root file content and therefore propagate 
ICANNs control on the DNS. I will be really interested in seeing Richard 
Clarke's final document. Final decision IMHO will be political. Nations 
digital sovereignty and security is not to be decided by anyone else than 
their Govs.
