Ok, fine. such an agency should also be funded by the member nations
according to their population. Non-member states get no say and no
benefit till after member nations have had first dibs on the data. 
Fall behind on your payment and you are out.

Bottom line is, the science is usually done for the benefit of those
doing it and shared with others as seen fit by them. The reason so
much is seemingly for the benefit of teh US is because we are the ones
taking the risks. It is out money and our butts on the line.
