The highly anticipate battle between the U.S. and the U.N. was over before the bell even rung. The U.N. threw in the towel and the U.S. retains control over ICANN (the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers). Negotiators from over 100 countries agreed late Tuesday to leave the United States in charge of the Internet's addressing system, which averted a U.S. & EU showdown at this week's U.N. technology summit. (You know how I feel about the U.N. taking over ICANN.)
U.S. officials said today that instead of transferring management of the system to an international body such as the United Nations, an international forum would be created to address concerns. The forum, however, would have no binding authority. In other words, U.S. just hit a bottom of the ninth grand slam walk-off homerun.
