"internet governance, currently in the control of US-based ICANN."
If people start with that assumption, they will
fail. The I* Society insiders will eat their lunch.
People (especially governments) need to be educated
about who the insiders are and what their agenda
is, and what they will do to acheive their goals.
They will stop at nothing. Their religion trains
them to manipulate the media, networks and minds.
It Seeks Overall Control

ICANN now operates the .NET Registry for 75 cents per name per year. ICANN has selected Verisign to handle the back-office details. Pay no attention to the ICANN Bylaws. The ICANN Board apparently ignores those also.
http://www.icann.org/general/archive-bylaws/bylaws -08apr05.htm#II
Section 2. RESTRICTIONS
ICANN shall not act as a Domain Name System Registry or Registrar or Internet Protocol Address Registry in competition with entities affected by the policies of ICANN. Nothing in this Section is intended to prevent ICANN from taking whatever steps are necessary to protect the operational stability of the Internet in the event of financial failure of a Registry or Registrar or other emergency.
Section 3. NON-DISCRIMINATORY TREATMENT
ICANN shall not apply its standards, policies, procedures, or practices inequitably or single out any particular party for disparate treatment unless justified by substantial and reasonable cause, such as the promotion of effective competition.
ICANN Board Designates VeriSign to Retain Control of .NET Registry
8 June 2005
Marina del Rey, CA – 8 June 2005 – ICANN’s Board has named VeriSign, Inc. as the designated .NET successor registry. ICANN has also approved entering into a new agreement with VeriSign for their continued management of the .NET registry for six additional years. This announcement is the culmination of the .NET RFP and successor registry process that began on 6 March 2004 and included an independent evaluation of VeriSign and four other applicants.
In taking this action ICANN’s Board considered the entire RFP Process, an independent evaluator’s report, Internet community comments and the terms of the new agreement.
