There remain several vexing aspects.

1) By what authority is this occurring?

2) Given the non-urgent nature of the matter, but the
critical long-term implications, why must it occur "within 
a few months?"  The most trivial Internet protocol would get
more consideration than this.

3) Given two governmental official public proceedings in the 
matter - in both the US and Europe - shouldn't any decisions, 
much less actions, await the completion of those proceedings?

4) What kind of message does this behavior send to the
outside world (public, business, governmental entities) about 
responsible self-governance?  Doesn't this suggest that it's
really necessary for government to step in here, or invite
judicial intervention?
