> But as a person who loves the EU I’m very much opposed to enforcing EU values and views to 3rd parties. I'm not quite clear how that's different from ICANN? Ostensibly they're now "multistakeholder", but were under the United States Department of Commerce until 2016. And were infamously in denial about the GDPR impact to WHOIS. To be clear, I'm not saying the EU proposal is in any way good, I have no idea. But this issue has been brewing for a while, and I don't think it's unreasonable to be critical of ICANN et al and preparing for eventualities. Even if it is the status quo, leaving a major part of the internet in the hands of some unaccountable NGO is a huge risk.
