News from the U.S. Congressional hearing on ICANN this morning:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060920/ap_on_hi_te/internet_governance_9
News account reads to me like ICANN got their hands slapped a bit.
An excerpt:
"The U.S. Commerce Department said Wednesday it will extend its oversight of the California organization that handles domain name policies, while finding ways to improve the group's accountability and transparency.
Commerce plans to renew a memorandum of understanding with ICANN, but it will likely add provisions designed to address complaints that the group is sometimes too secret and makes decisions that don't reflect the Internet community at large, Kneuer said."
