The Hindustan Times: "The battle for Internet has begun and India is in the thick of it....Much of the problem with ICANN, as India sees it, relates to the umbilical cord that links this body to the US government."

ICANN President Paul Twomey in a speech to the WGIG: "We are working towards the completion of the MOU by September 2006 -- and to date have completed all milestones on or before the time stipulated."

The Number Resource Organization (i.e. ARIN, RIPE, AfriNIC, LACNIC and APNIC) presentation to WGIG: "The NRO does not see it as appropriate to view ICANN as a controlling body, a source of international regulation of the Internet, or a means of enforcing regulatory provisions."

P.S. It sure would be nice if the WGIG and UN and ITU folks would use HTML. Why is everything posted in Word and Acrobat format?
