For decentralization's sake, i make the suggestion to move one of the three main TLD's (.net, .com, .org) under Europa's management. This might distribute and improve legal stability of the DNS ecosystem. (And if this is not possible, that is indicative of a problem with DNS!)
I assume you are at least partially trolling, but no doubt there is an undercurrent of (understandable) community outrage that would like to imagine you were not. Problems abound at the intersection of jurisdiction and topology. Much like choosing a week for a global meeting that does not conflict with anybody's holiday, it is difficult to imagine a solution here that mitigates every theoretical problem. And if you could find such a unicorn on a Friday, chances are good it would not last through the weekend. I appreciate the DNS is often the default solution to every problem, but, really, not this one. This time the DNS is just a symptom. Joe
