Internet Governance Project Proposes ICANN Reforms - An academic group studying Internet governance has released a report calling for structural changes in the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). The paper calls for clear limitations on ICANN's role, putting ICANN under the purview of an international body instead of the U.S. government, and restoring elections for seats on ICANN's board. CDT believes continued reform of ICANN is necessary, but remains seriously concerned about greater intergovernmental or UN control of Internet naming and numbering. April 07, 2005
