CDT Opposes Drastic Changes to Global Internet Governance - In comments filed Friday, CDT urged United Nations member states participating in the World Summit on the Information Society not to jeopardize the future of the free and open Internet by vastly increasing the level of government involvement in Internet management. CDT wrote the comments in response to a report -- issued by the UN-commissioned Working Group on Internet Governance -- that contains drastic recommendations for changing the existing Internet governance structure. CDT believes that the largely non-governmental, bottom-up management structure currently in place can be improved, but still provides the best option for maintaining the openness, stability and security of the Internet.
