My favorite quote(s) from this very brief article: "Right now, the most recognizable Internet governance body is a California-based non-profit company, the International Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN)." "But developing countries want an international body, such as the U.N.'s International Telecommunication Union (ITU), to have control over governance -- from distributing Web site domains to fighting spam." http://today.reuters.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?type=internetNews&storyID=2005-02-21T171326Z_01_N21644703_RTRIDST_0_NET-TECH-UN-DC.XML - ferg -- "Fergie", a.k.a.
