Greg and all,

  I don't find or see a great possibility of what you say Farber is saying
will happen.  It is possible yes, but highly improbable given that the USG
has failed so many times already and a major election is in the offing
soon.  Hence there is plenty of time for another stab at all this, be it
through a revamped ICANN or something else.  The EU may be the
only major stumbling block however...
