Monika Ermert reporting in the IP Watch: “Amidst rising voices that time is of essence to finalize the oversight transition for core internet functions from the United States government to the community of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), governments are divided over what their role should be. Some discussions at the eve of the official start of the ICANN meeting in Dublin on 19 October look like another edition of the fight between North and South over governments’ influence over the management of central registries for domain names, computer IP addresses and protocol numbers. The hot potato in the discussions in the ICANN Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) over the weekend was a proposed change of ICANN’s bylaws with regard to GAC advice.”
