I just wonder if these people have realised that despite ICANN being a US 
organisation and despite the US' recent appalling extension of criminal 
jurisdiction over any  domain registered with Verisign or another US-based 
registrar (see the Richard O'Dwyer case), that the Internet is a worldwide 
technology and that terminologies have different meanings in different places.

When .net stopped being a routing-only domain, the idea that a gTLD actually 
means anything beyond what its registar says it does (.edu means something as 
does .ac.uk but only because the TLD owner has a policy and enforces it) has 
already long left the building.
