According to an
article from the BBC the United Nations has reccomended four proposals for future development/operations of the Internet.
"Option One-create a UN body known as the Global Internet Council that draws its members from governments and "other stakeholders" and takes over the US oversight of Icann."
or
"Option Two-no changes apart from strenghtening Icann's Governmental Advisory Committee to become a forum for official debate on net issues."
or
"Option Three-relegate ICANN to a narrow technical role and set up an International Internet Council that sits outside the UN. US loses oversight of Icann."
or
"Option Four-Create three new bodies. One to take over from Icann and look after the net's addressing system. One to be a debating chamber for governments, businesses and the public; and one to coordinate work on "internet-related public policy issues."
Whatever decision is made will contradict an earlier US claim to supervise ICANN. It's anyone's guess what will happen then.
