US expected to relax control on Internet

Posted on Tuesday, September 29 2009 @ 19:23:17 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck |
BBC News writes the US government is expected to give ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) autonomy to run its own affairs for the first time:
The US government is expected to relax control over how the internet is run when it signs an accord with net regulator Icann on Wednesday.
The "affirmation of commitments" will reportedly give Icann autonomy to run its own affairs for the first time.
Previous agreements gave the US close oversight of Icann - drawing criticism from other countries.
Earlier this year, the EU called on the US to relinquish its control and Icann to become "universally accountable".
