It is completely unrealistic. Do you really expect the European ccTLD to be able to change Uncle Sam's policies and practices in the next few years?
As far as I understand, the threat from APNIC and RIPE to just ditch ICANN and get on without it seems to have had quite some effect. If all non-US-ccTLD registries (of which there are lots more than US-based) start beating ICANN with joint forces, I'm pretty sure that this will have an effect.
