UN report indicates ICANN retains position in Internet governance
Kieren McCarthy writes in The Register:
A sneak preview of the UN’s report into internet governance has revealed that ICANN will retain its position as the lead technical body for the Internet. However, the organisation’s dreams of becoming a quasi-governmental body overseeing the future of the internet have been dealt a heavy blow.
Chairman of the UN’s Working Group on Internet Governance (WGIG), Nitin Desai, spoke at ICANN’s bi-annual conference in Luxembourg this morning and said that 70 to 80 per cent of Internet governance did not concern ICANN at all.
