Isn't that kind of a strawman, though? I'm fairly convinced that of the organizations you listed, very few people (if any) were aware of the breadth of the NSA's information gathering.

I fail to see how placing control of IP and TLD assignments under the EU or UN would have done anything to stop the NSA/GCHQ, which was the crux of your initial argument. If anything, it might have made it worse, because lawmakers could have been frightened into far more material support of extensive surveillance under the guise of "we don't control that."
