Isn't it interesting that ICANN's upcoming next meeting will
be in Tunisia at the same time...  Hummm?

An attempt by developing countries to put management of the internet
under
United Nations auspices is likely to be shelved at next month's world
information summit in Geneva - but the issue is now firmly on the
international agenda, summit sources say.

It will be one of the main bones of contention this week as government
negotiators and non-governmental organisations descend on Geneva for the

final round of preparatory talks on the draft declaration and plan of
action due to be endorsed by heads of state and government at the summit
on
December 10-12.

However, UN officials say they see no compromise emerging. They expect
governments to decide instead to continue talks on internet governance
with
the aim of reaching accord by 2005, when the second stage of the
two-part
summit is due to take place in Tunisia.
