Please help make the Manifesto better, or accept it, and propagate it!

I concure with Ms. Rao's views. Not only that, but having specific
country
domains has now become an advantage. Most people have started to go for
a
.in URL.
This kind of a biferaction not only helps the internet run better
technically, but also helps the government control the rules on the net
better.
Also, the .com are not US - the have now become more of a Global domain.
You can register anything anywhere , except GOV and MIL domains -
Remember
on the net , it you are not large enough, people forget , similarly, if
these domains dont spead fast , they will vanish eventually too.
The internet society has just released a few more top level domains -
they
are all for grab across the world

excuse me, isn's there something called the benefits/advantages of
first-mover. Sometimes, we forget the histories of things and make
assertions such as this. In anycase every country has its exclusive
super
domain (.in, .ch, .pk, ...) under which we can do/have what we want.
Also,
the US is reported to be actively encouraging its institutions to get
under
the .us domain. And, btw, .edu is not reserved only for US colleges
(tiss.edu and ignou.edu are domestic examples). There seems to be little
reason in being bothered with such mundanes, I think. The
Darpanet/internet
was never planned for the world; one ought to be grateful to the
americans
that they threw open a valuable network for global use.

The GOV Domain is reserved exclusively for the United States
Government.
The EDU Domain is reserved for educational institutions in the United
States granting four-year degrees and is registered only through Network
Solutions.
The MIL Domain is reserved exclusively for the United States Military.
Shouldn't the rest of the world be protesting this?
