CDT Urges New Provisions in Key ICANN Agreement

In a letter dated August 19, CDT urged officials at the Department of
Commerce
to insert new provisions that enhance accountability and promote the public
interest into the upcoming renewal of Commerce's agreement with ICANN (the
Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers). ICANN, the private
organization that manages Internet naming and other critical functions, is
in
the midst of restructuring and faces numerous questions and criticism about
the scope of its powers, degree of accountability, and overall
representativeness.
While CDT continues to believe in the benefits of private-sector management
of
these functions, ICANN has encountered significant problems, and substantive
reform is necessary to bolster its credibility and legitimacy before the
Internet
community. August 19, 2002
