Heck, ICANN might be better than what is coming in the (near) future but who can tell? Take a read of some of the background of the hiring of the new CEO Paul Twomey. Interesting reading eh? 3:31:11 PM      Like to comment? [] USA stands alone, lost last major ally. The story from the International Herald Tribune (which is a very good online source of news BTW) about USA vs The Rest of the World called EU and U.S. clash over control of Net got me thinking. I can not see ICANN having the same reporting structure in the following years. In fact I am prepared to bet money on it. ICANN may exist but not with the basic contracts with American government departments. The USA can not win this fight, at best they can stage a rear guard that will last years, but not win. ICANN has provided most of the ammunition to its 'foes', alas the rest of the ammunition is most governments finally waking up to their lack of control/influence in 'Internet Governance'. Maybe ICANN will form an arm of the ITU. Maybe UN will have a reporting group over ICANN (or what it morphs into). Whatever it will be will not be a private company with a couple of wimpy contracts with the USA government. Lets start working on making it the best it can be knowing that the rules set now will last a long time and will be near impossible to change once implemented. 2:08:34 PM      Like to comment? [] © Copyright 2007 Foxbane Ltd and Steven Heath.
