No. You just miss the language.

Global in English and French as in most of the languages means "all the 
parts of a whole".
Global in American seem to be rduced to an equivalent to Universal.

The English language has a real problem with missing a word for the way of 
"managing in a concerted manner" using the normal term "concertation" in an 
opposed way.

Govenance in American and in English has scaled from its original Frenc 
XIIIth century meaning of managing the household (in here "net keeping") 
into a more complex usually top-down power usage.

So there are a lot of difficuly in translating the French phrase which 
describes the way to easily manage the Internet : "la concertation d'une 
gouverance globale".

IMHO you also miss the analysis of what is a distributed network vs a 
contralized and a decentralized system. And of what is really the DNS and 
of its impact on the brainware (the way you particiapte into the system 
results)

So your mistake is to beleive that the "global system governance" is a way 
of coordinating a unified world government under dedicated servent who ever 
they are from. The first thing you need to understand is how in your system 
you may describe :

- subsidiarity
- location of authority
- who has the focus
- interelated forces and interests
- cultures
- relations forms and communities

etc...  then you will build your own model not out of some 
capitalisticomarxist slogan, but based upon your own anlysis of the real 
world, with some chances of sucess, not a certainty of failure as your 
expanded ICANN wish.

I would be interested in learning about that model, once you though enough 
aboy it, and why what you currently support would be a poor move.
