Because they did until very recently.
> If anything, some sort of multi-national, strictly non-profit charity should be setup for this, or if not, the U.N. as a last resort.
That would take literally years, and would be too-little, too-late to deal with these shenanigans around the .org TLD.

- CharlesColeman 7y ago> That's not an argument. Any regressive policy could and has been justified in those terms. Yes, it is. The US government has an institutional history of overseeing ICAAN, so it's the most practical organization to take on that role on short notice. I think you're letting the perfect be the enemy of the good. Your preferred multi-national solution would likely take years to negotiate, which means it's not really even a solution at all, as far as .org is concerned.
