Subject: .eu makes sense for europeens

> Why the EU needs its own TLD while e.g. NATO can get by with *.nato.int is is another matter, but I don't think .eu will (or can) be prone to the misuses you are worried about. <

Well, there's no way to compare the EU and the NATO!!
The EU will one day be a confedration, maybe the united stated of europe, and that makes it something very different in comparison with NATO, WTO, IMF or other .int-candidates.
I don't say that eu.int isn't accurate at the moment for the commission, the parliament or the other organisations, but in future to come that has to change.
Why does only the us have the right to get .gov and .mil for their  puposes? It's only because the US dominate the internet as a whole, and so they oppress it and push their interests against any others.

I hope that this will change a bit with our vote for the ICANN board directors, and the creation of .eu is an important step.
I, as a european citizen, would prefer a .eu-domain above anything else.
The ICANN board has always to look at the future, and not always pull their head down behind the barriers of the todays' Status Quo.
