Al: For those not in the plenary lists, there was a lively debate on
reference to internet governance and the dynamics of ICANN. The main debate
centered on text referring to the shortcomings of ICANN (which is widely
accepted) but apparently linked to an agenda by some governments to take it
over and have probably ITU govern the domain name/numbers system.
There was no consensus, and the time was very short. Not sure if this was
extensively discussed in the CS Plenary in Paris. Apparently, the solution
for now is to drop the questionable paragraph. (You can refer to the last
draft before this sent out to the list.)
