Global poker game for the internet goes on
Kieren McCarthy writes in The Register that:
A new front has opened up in the global battle for control of the internet, with a heated exchange of letters between two of the main players.
The chairman of Centr - an organisation representing the needs and wishes of a large part of the world's internet registries - has fired a broadside at internet overseeing organisation ICANN following a letter from ICANN that dismissed his organisation's complaints.
In the most recent letter, dated 29 April, Centr chairman Paul Kane made his points bluntly, accusing ICANN of being a quasi-regulator and a "United States private-sector company" from which sovereign nations would not accept orders. He outlined the main concerns with ICANN and made it clear that unless ICANN started accepting a relationship of equals, it would not get the support it needs.
