I also agree that the root should be unique, but I have to admit that the
USA *does* practice way too much control over the root/ICANN, I *do see* the
need for a change.
Examples:
- All 4 top managers of ICANN so far (2 CEOs and 2 Board Chair) are US
nationals - do you think that this is a coincidence?
- By directly subcontracting the management of the A-root, the US has
*complete* control of the root.
If this is not *too much*, I would like to know what in your view "too much"
would be.

The problem, though, cannot be solved with some form of "retaliation" like
have the European autonomous root: honestly, this would be far worse. But
the political problem of having international jurisdiction over key global
issues of the Internet should be solved, methinks. This does not mean to
build another international bureaucracy, although this could be seen as a
viable alternative to the present ICANN, but maybe to build in the present
ICANN some elements guaranteeing a better internationalization.
