If you want to participate in the debate over U.S. control of the root, it is necessary to be honest about what the alternatives are and what the problems are. Everyone knows that we do not have to choose between U.S. control and "a congeries of totalitarian governments." We can and will have neither. IGP has for years advocated getting the U.S. government out and also preventing other governments from exploiting the root for leverage over speech. The Chinese delegate did not demand a specific result from the IGF; he demanded that we have an honest discussion of clearly identified topics. If you think we can defend the freedom of the Internet through subterfuge and diversion you are very wrong, my friend.
