Besty Hart writing in Nando Times: But for the time being ICANN is steadily and some would say stealthily gaining control of the hub of the Internet, yet it's operating in the shadows. Congress needs to hold hearings on ICANN and the source and lawful extent of its mandate, its authority, and its activities. Whatever the best course for the future of the Internet, we need to let the light shine on getting us there. Cook this just in: While Bliley has not yet announced a date for hearings, his investigative staff have already hauled Becky Burr in for questioning. Esther Dyson will be called soon. **************************************************************** The COOK Report on Internet Index to seven years of the COOK Report 431 Greenway Ave, Ewing, NJ 08618 USA Exec summaries, glossary etc (609) 882-2572 (phone & fax) http://cookreport.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] What's Behind Ican and How it Will Impact the Future of the Internet http://cookreport.com/icannregulate.shtml ****************************************************************
