Paradigms:

Although the internet is decentralized and hard to control, the infrastructure that ICANN manages represents the few levers that governments have to impose control should they choose to do so. Also at stake is money: registering domain names generates about $1 billion annually and assigning new domains—think .web or .sex—is a power over very lucrative assets. The uncomfortable reality for most countries is that US control of the internet's domain name system and its spread through the private sector has contributed most to the development of the internet. US officials say they “fully support” the UN process. But the country's conspicuous absence from the Working Group on Internet Governance gives it leeway to distance itself from recommendations, or discredit it. Nevertheless EU Information Society Commissioner Viviane Reding urged US President Obama to agree to a "more accountable, more transparent, more democratic and more multilateral form of internet governance" when the current agreement between ICANN and the US government expires on 30 September this year Since all people, companies, bodies or organizations affected by ICANN decisions should have a right to request full judicial review of ICANN decisions by a small, independent international tribunal

Timing:

1998: ICANN formed

Nov. 23, 2004: First meeting of the UN Working Group on Internet Governance

Nov. 2005: UN Working Group on Internet Governance’s report due

2006: ICANN expected to become completely independent of US government
