[governance] ICANN head warns against putting Internet addresses

[Sivasubramanian M]

UN involvement in ICANN is a particular matter of concern, because it would
eventually bring in ICANN under the ITU umbrella.

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.

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.
