Statement of Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Communications and
Information and NTIA Administrator Lawrence E. Strickling on the European
Commission statement on Internet governance:

"The U.S. government welcomes the strong and continued commitment of the
European Commission to the multistakeholder model of Internet governance.
We will work with the Commission and other Internet stakeholders to make
multistakeholder governance more inclusive, especially to support the
engagement of countries in the developing world.  We have long encouraged
the further globalization of ICANN as reflected in our work the last five
years to improve the accountability and transparency of ICANN to all
