Re: An alternative
EU decides all national domains will be under .eurodns, root server for .eurodns is located in EU and all European users will use a browser plugin (developed at great expense by the commission), conditional forwarding rules etc to handle lookups to officially approved DNS servers that will handle resolution to approved lesser domains out there. Easy, job's a good-un and it's already been done elsewhere and ICANN won't be able to do a think about it.
Anon 'cos I don't want the blame when some twonk in government actually takes this as a serious proposal. And no doubt somebody will make a quip about taking back control too.
