This is sounding more and more like the Clinton administration, that never saw an international agreement it didn't sign. The nose of the globalist camel is under the tent. The US should not have even been at the meeting in Tunis, but should have sent them this message: It's OUR net.

IMO, Bush should have thanked them for their opinions and claimed a pen malfunction before not signing this. The UN is full of slimy operators and I have a VERY bad feeling about this.

Reassuring to know that two cretins like Mugabe
and Annan, who need assistance just to know how to turn a computer on, have influence over the Internet.

It's our internet. It's our gift to the world. If you don't like it, leave.

The internet started as an army project, it makes sense that we'd give it away to the communists in the UN.

You guys just jump on anything to scream "betrayal".
This is a big nothing, so they talk, blah, blah, blah ad nauseum.
Even Bolton has publicly stated yesterday that the UN has to be replaced, oh but that would get in the way of your perpetual crying jag.

No friggin way the UN gets the internet. This is as important as any national defense issue we face.

...the Bush administration formally endorsed the creation of an "Internet Governance Forum" that will meet for the first time in 2006 under the auspices of the UN. This can only be the first of many steps in bringing the internet under the control of those governments who suppress free speech as a matter of political policy. Eventually those restrictions on the net would find a home with our own politicians.
Also, suppression of the net would once again make the liberal MSM the gatekeepers of information. That can never be allowed to happen again.

To those that think this is giving the internet to UN.... get a grip. This does nothing of the sort. All it does is set up a discussion group to make the international community feel empowered.
They have no control and nothing they say at these meetings matter. These UN crybabies like their little forums so they have an excuse to leave whatever particular hellhole they live in and travel to Switzerland or whatever. It will be forgotten soon enough.

The WSJ said, yesterday, that the likely, eventual outcome will be separate controls in different areas, such as China and Europe. This is really the best that we can hope for.

More honest to say: "Attempt to take over DNS relegated to harmless UN committee who will bicker endlessly and never be heard from again"
The only real danger is that a Dim majority and/or Dim president might enlarge this and turn over control of DNS to the UN later. Or succumb to global taxation via internet, although this is less likely since our domestic socialists mostly like to grab and keep the money for themselves.
There's a bill in the House, I think, that would codify U.S. control of DNS into U.S. law. I think the uppity DNS-grabbers backed down out of fear that their actions would ensure its passage. Hopefully, the sponsors will finish and pass the bill anyway.

Let the UN set up their own freakin' internet, and see how many people willingly subject themselves to its yoke. Seriously, set up a .un domain, and let the crooks administer it, and we'll see just how long it lasts and how much good it does. Otherwise, they need to STFU.
