Subject: control of the internet
Anyone else a little uneasy about handing over control
of the internet to a coalition of countries?

Not that I think ICANN is perfect, just that the
recent history of organizations like the UN leave me
distrustful of their ability to effectively & fairly
govern anything. let alone the internet.

For example, UN Oil-For-Food scandal:

google for more.

Purporting good intentions is often the mask of
incompetence and malisciousness.
