Excerpts:

The latest criticism came from Tom Bliley, chairman of the U.S. House
Committee on Commerce, in a letter sent to Secretary of Commerce
William Daley and to the head of the Internet Corporation for Assigned
Names and Numbers (ICANN), which is overseeing the birth
of the new Internet address system.

Bliley, a Republican from Virginia, also rebuked ICANN on its member
selection process, for holding "closed meetings," and for setting
"highly regulatory"
accreditation requirements for new companies who want to act as
registrars selling Internet addresses.

"Rather than promote the Internet's evolution, ICANN's policies actually

may jeopardize consumers' abilities to use, enjoy and transact business
on the Internet," Bliley wrote. "My committee will be keeping an eye on
this situation."

Regards,
