			<description><![CDATA[An article appeared in Computer World that alleges: in exchange for the Indian market presence" mobile device manufacturers, including RIM, Nokia, and Apple (collectively defined in the document as RINOA) have agreed to provide backdoor access on their devices. Could it be true that Nokia, RIM and Apple opened up to Government interception? <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20120110_secret_doors_in_phones_and_computers">More...</a>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The ICANN community is conservative. A considerable number of dedicated ICANN volunteers from various constituencies believe that ICANN should follow the unusual logic of limiting its revenues to the levels of its CURRENT estimates of expenditure. The Board, acting on the advise of the ICANN community brought down the ICANN transaction fee per domain name from 25 cents to 16 cents and in the case of numbers, for various reasons the Address Registry fees that it collects from the Regional Internet Registries have been historically kept at a negligibly low level. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/beyond_limitations_what_good_it_would_do_icann_to_operate_from_abundance">More...</a>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[At Guadalajara, Mexico this week, in the policy debate kicked off by the ITU, Russian Federation's Minister of Communications proposed that the ITU should give itself veto power over ICANN decisions. This proposal by the Regional Commonwealth in the field of Communications (RCC) calls for the ICANN Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) to be scrapped and replaced by an ITU group. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/on_the_need_to_separate_the_telecom_business_agenda_from_government_policy">More...</a>]]></description>

			<title> A Closer Look at China's Call for an End to the Internet Governance Forum (Featured Blog)</title>

			<description><![CDATA[China as a nation with a population of 1.3 billion people, represents over a fifth of the whole world and for this reason, if not for any other, we need to sit up and listen to anything that China says, though a lot of what China says may be disagreeable. China unambiguously stated its position during the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) Open Consultations at Geneva on May 13. On this instance, I consider the views expressed by China largely respectable, but needs to be bridged in some areas. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20090520_closer_look_china_call_to_end_internet_governance_forum">More...</a>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Where does <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20090105_icann_for_profit_companies_comparables/">this idea</a> that the employees of <em>all</em> non-profit organizations alike shall lead a public-transportation lifestyle come from? ICANN's monetary resources do not come from war widows and pensioners, for ICANN to feel guilty about every penny that it spends on administration. Nor does its resources, wherever they come from, are any that are earmarked to be spent on famine relief or on basic health care for the most unfortunate. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20090106_icann_pay_more_increase_spending">More...</a>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I kept wondering if all that I had said about Dr Toure was fair -- I hadn't met him before and had written so much to comment on the transcript of his speech at ICANN, Cairo . My discomfort was short-lived and even before a month elapsed I met him at the Internet Governance Forum, Hyderabad. Exchanged pleasantries before saying "I wrote some strong comments about your speech at Cairo". Dr Toure looked happy to see me, beamed with a bit of surprise and said he read <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20081115_take_over_internet_governace_itu_icann/">my comment</a>... <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20090101_itu_communication_wonderland">More...</a>]]></description>

			<title> Overture to Take Over Internet Governance: ITU at ICANN Meeting, Cairo (Featured Blog)</title>

			<description><![CDATA[ITU is 143 years old and it has done a lot of good work. But it is so huge and powerful that it has been monopolizing (or mono-unionizing) Telecommunications for the last 143 years. ITU's hold over communications has been sweeping. But during the last ten years, ITU's member Telcos have seen several challenges from the open Internet architecture... ITU and the Internet organizations did not quite get along for this and several other reasons Especially the ITU has had its share of differences with the ICANN. Dr. Hamadoun Toure, Secretary General of the ITU addressed the ICANN Annual Meeting at Cairo on 6 November 2008. Here are some excerpts from the Secretary General's speech with my comments. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20081115_take_over_internet_governace_itu_icann">More...</a>]]></description>

			<title> On Why and How the Internet Needs to Be Governed (Featured Blog)</title>

			<description><![CDATA[The World is not inventing Internet Governance. Internet is already being governed. There is governance, but without a formal structure -- the structure is undefined like a round table... The opponents of the concept of Internet Governance perhaps believe that the essential character of the Internet is preserved best by challenging the very concept of Governance. The words "Governance", "Control", "Regulation" or even "Coordination" are mistaken to be invasive to the essential character of a free, open and user-centric internet. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20081108_why_how_internet_to_be_governed">More...</a>]]></description>
