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.
Has anyone tried serious reasoning with them about these delays??? ./Carlos "Upgrade the Internet! -- Now!" -------------- [http://www.ip6.fccn.pt] http://www.fccn.pt <cfriacas@fccn.pt>, CMF8-RIPE, CF596-ARIN, Wide Area Network Workgroup FCCN - Fundacao para a Computacao Cientifica Nacional fax:+351 218472167 "Internet is just routes (125953/461), naming (millions) and... people!"
