CDT Urges Cautious Response To Internet Governance Proposals - Putting more power over Internet "governance" in the hands of multi-governmental bureaucracies could undercut the openness and accessibility of the Internet, CDT said in public comments. Responding to several new Internet governance models proposed in a report commissioned by the United Nations, CDT urged the preservation of the largely non-governmental framework currently in place for overseeing key elements of the Internet's infrastructure. CDT filed its initial comments to the State Department and will submit a revised version of the document to the UN's World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) Secretariat later this month.
