This US Government official refers to the Legacy Internet. Not to the Internet+, i.e. the full integration of the capacities of the Internet technology into the whole digital ecosystem (WDE).

Rather than discussing this at length, the easiest is probably to study and contribute to the emerging IUTF (Intelligent Use Task Force) which wants to consider the fringe to fringe layers, in commenting the IETF draft-iucg-internet-plus.

Please note that the ICANN comment system, permitted this Draft to be quoted on the ICANN site before the closing of the Public Comment period. ICANN lawyers will this way be able to demonstrate that if the NewgTLDs Program did not underline that their gTLDs were only one inter 65.635 pares, ICANN published it on their site and documented it honnestly. This means that their offer is not a swindle, but concerns the actual provision, for the given price tag, of the Class "IN" (Icann/Ntia) ICANN best legal and excel registration service.

Long ago (1982), Mr. Mokapetris, decided about the way the IDNS (integral digital names space) was to be supported by the IETF technology of the DNS. ICANN recalled it in 2001 (ICP-3) and explained to the open-roots how they had to proceed to be legitimate.

The control of the Internet+, as documented for 30 years in the IETF RFCs, already belongs to every Government because it belongs to every user. ICANN, DNSSEC instigators, PIPA/SOPA proponents, Root servers system, Trade-Marks lobbies trying to free themselves from the rules of the WIPO, etc. and lawyers "from every culture under the sun and from all walks of life" (RFC 3935) just forgot to read RFCs.
