Dear All, Please see the excerpt and link below. Audio of the meeting is available on the webpage. "On March 21, 2011, just days after ICANN* rejected the advice of its Government Advisory Committee and allowed the creation of .XXX, the Congressional Internet Caucus Advisory Committee hosted a panel on "Influencing ICANN: Do World Governments Want More Control Over Internet Domain Functions?" This is a follow up briefing for our closely related 2009 briefing "The Future of the U.S. Government's Role in ICANN, Internet Addressing and Internet Governance.<http://netcaucus.org/events/2009/icann/> " Congressional interest in this important area of Internet architecture is obvious. Governmental control over Internet functions takes on new significance in light of the extraordinary events recently in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya fueled by Internet communications. Further, Congress continues to express concern over the impact of the Internet on intellectual property interests, which may be implicated by ICANN decisions." http://netcaucus.org/events/2011/ICANN/index.shtml Regards Cintra
