From Reuters:
The United States will keep control of the domain-name system that guides online traffic under an agreement on Wednesday seen as a setback to efforts to internationalise one of the pillars of the Internet.This is good news. I foresee nothing but chaos if the UN or the EU were put in charge.Negotiators at the United Nations World Summit on the Information Society said they had agreed to set up a forum to discuss "spam" e-mail and other Internet issues and explore ways to narrow the technology gap between rich and poor countries.
But oversight of the domain-name system will remain with the United States, a setback for the European Union and other countries that had pushed for international control of one of the most important technical aspects of the Internet.
The European Union said in a statement that the agreement would lead to "further internationalisation of Internet governance, and enhanced intergovernmental cooperation to this end."

uruknet is part of the radical fringe new-age western socialist/communist movement. net itself is heavily associated with remnants of Saddam's Baathist regime in exile (in Europe no less).

Only reason we allow the worm to stay is that it's funny to watch his store. He has big signs on his gas pumps that say pay first. If you are white or asian you can pull up and the pump will be turned on. If you are black you must go inside and pay first. Racist? Or is he reacting to something in the past? Or is reacting to reality (driveoffs)? Or is this a fair muslim????? Since whites and asians have never left without paying why should they be punished for what members of another race do?
Maybe we won't bitch slap him today. Just a good talking to.

Next week we will return and talk to him again. This time we will hide a tape recorder in the chips next to the register and see what he says after we leave. Works every time. Play back is a riot. Sort of like letting the air out of a ballon.
