CDT Warns of Risk in Debate on "Critical Internet Resources" - Confusion over the concepts of "Internet governance" and "critical Internet resources" threatens to divert attention from key barriers to Internet development and could fuel calls for government intervention that would undermine the Internet's openness, CDT said in paper released today at the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) in Rio de Janeiro. While the term CIR has become a code name in some circles for the Domain Name System, the CDT paper identifies a broader range of concerns and warns against wholesale change in the structure of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers.
