I fail to see what problem we're solving? Under US supervision the net has
been relatively free. Some countries have have built firewalls, but the net
as a whole has been allowed to operate under relative freedom.

Can someone point to problems that giving control to non-US entities will
solve?

It seems to me like there's a percentage of technorati that want to weaken
the influence of the US globally. I fail to see how that extends freedom
around the world.
