UK: New Efforts to Wrest Internet Control from the U.S.

Richard Wray writes in The Guardian (UK):

Efforts to remove the US government's historical stranglehold on the internet will kick off again today.

Ministers, MPs and internet experts will attend a parliament reception hosted by Phil Willis, Liberal Democrat MP and chair of the house of commons science and technology select committee.

Emily Taylor - director of legal policy at Nominet, the .uk domain name registry, and a member of the IGF advisory board - will attend the event, which is aimed at starting the process of finding out what kind of governance, if any, British internet users want.
