| All this means is that two armies of bureaucrats will exchnage increasingly polite letters with each other for perhaps, 20 years, and as they all retire the issue goes away. Of course, they require 6 figure salaries, staffs, office buildings, conferences, perhaps a leased jet or two, to exchnage these letters.
If they cant figure what to do with crazy people building nukes, do you really think they'll resolve an issue like this? | |

The problem is that, while ICANN is a group with people from all around the world, their decisions are subject to the whim (or whimsy) of the US government, specifically the of an agency within the Dept. of Commerce. That agency has the ability to overturn ANY decision the group makes with respect to the root servers, such as adding a new suffix or country codes.
