CDT Urges Cautious Response To Internet Governance Proposals.
Putting more power over Internet “governance” in the hands of
multi-governmental bureaucracies could undercut the openness and
accessibility of the Internet, CDT said in public comments. Responding
to several new Internet governance models proposed in a report
commissioned by the United Nations, CDT urged the preservation of the
largely non-governmental framework currently in place for overseeing
key elements of the Internet's infrastructure. CDT filed its initial
comments to the State Department and will submit a revised version of
the document to the UN's World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS)
Secretariat later this month. [Meerkat: An Open Wire Service]
