Governing the Internet: Myths, Rhetoric and Reality - Jan. 13
In March, the U.S. Government announced its intention to transition its oversight of some important Internet technical functions to the international Internet community. Some viewed this as a long-awaited liberation of the Internet from U.S. control; others said the Obama Administration was threatening the very openness and freedom of the Internet by subjecting it to possible takeover by countries such as Russia or China.
The non-profit multinational organization at the heart of the controversy is ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers)
Join Nancy Scola, the Technology-Policy reporter for The Washington Post when she talks with ICANN CEO Fadi Chehade about the future of Internet governance on Jan. 13 at 12:30 pm in the Holeman Lounge at the National Press Club.
