ICANN Settles Feud With Nominet UK

Jeremy Kirk writes on InfoWorld:

The company that manages the U.K.'s top-level domain has struck a truce with the U.S.-based organization responsible for overseeing Internet domain names, cooling ongoing disagreements over administrative control of the Internet.

On Friday, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) announced at a conference in Marrakech, Morocco, that it had exchanged letters with Nominet UK, a sign of future cooperation on managing the name and number system that makes Web browsing possible.

Nominet is the fourth largest Internet registry, responsible for five million domain names in the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) ".uk," according to the company's Web site.
