U.S. Renews Contract for Oversight Of Internet: Commerce Dept. Role Scrutinized

Date: May 20, 2006
Author: Arshad Mohammed
QUOTE: The decision may revive international debate about the Commerce Department's role overseeing ICANN's work, a source of resentment among countries such as Iran, Saudi Arabia and Brazil. That puts the Bush administration in something of a bind as it tries to balance the demands of U.S. lawmakers adamant that the United States retain its oversight with those of other countries that want more of a say.
