This was a direct response to the commennt "I don't think there's any reason for us non-US-Americans to care at all about the US internet."

This change doesn't directly affect IANA, etc, but it will likely have knock-on effects which hurt everyone.

"IANA can be replaced by a non-US entity" - This would, IMO, signal the end of the internet. "Look up www.google.com" "which one?"

I'm not entirely sure if you know how DNS works.
