Bringing UN to oversee the addressing system is to pave way for the ITU to move closer to its dream of taking over Critical Internet Resources.<br><br>Some Governments may support such an idea either by the mistaken belief that it is the only effective way out of DoC's unilateral control, or influenced by the ITU propaganda.<br>

ICANN, NIMBLE ???? :-))<div><br></div><div>Not that replacing it with a UN body would improve things. The challenge is how to build a more international, more globally accountable and public interest oriented ICANN, not the mere alternative : either the way ICANN (dis)functions today or another, even more unappealing option. The AoC paves a way forward. Will we collectively be able to move in the right direction ? That is the right question. <br>

ICANN head warns against putting Internet addresses under UN control<br>

Posted by Andrew Adams:<br>

This (Canadian) Globe and Mail article includes details of Beckstrom's recent<br>
statements against UN oversight of ICANN.<br>

Summary: UN oversight would make ICANN "less nimble" according to Beckstrom.<br>
<br>
My opinion: could ICANN really be any less nimble given how glacial it is at<br>
introducing innovative ideas? Perhaps more international oversight could<br>
pressure ICANN into prioritising the real needs of users and less the<br>
concerns of staff which may or may not coincide with user needs.<br>
