Dear all,

Of possible interest to some members –

The European Commission has today launched a consultation on Internet Governance, which will run for 4 weeks.

In her blog post of yesterday, Commissioner Kroes recalled recent events that have inspired the consultation, including the EU’s ‘legitimate concerns’ regarding some TLD applications – see http://ec.europa.eu/commission_2010-2014/kroes/en/content/internet-governance-i-want-your-views. The consultation document addresses some ICANN issues and the role of Governments within the GAC.

Kind regards,

Caroline Greer
