>  Take a Stand on Internet Governance!
>  ====================================
>  
>  In advance of renewing the current agreement between the U.S.
>  Department of Commerce and ICANN, the U.S. government's National
>  Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) has asked for
>  public comments about its supervision of the Internet Corporation for
>  Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN).
>  
>  This is an important opportunity for public participation in the reform
>  of ICANN and Internet governance. We urge everyone to let your opinion
>  of how ICANN is working and how it can be improved be known. Comments
>  are due by July 7.
>  
>  The Internet Governance Project is focusing public attention on the
>  Bush administration's controversial and divisive assertion of unilateral
>  control over the DNS root. IGP is urging Internet users everywhere to
>  respond to the NTIA request for comments with the following statement:

>  
>  The Internet's value is created by the participation and cooperation of
>  people all over the world. The Internet is global, not national.
>  Therefore no single Government should have a pre-eminent role in
>  Internet governance.
>  
>  As the US reviews its contract with ICANN, it should work cooperatively
>  with all stakeholders to complete the transition to a Domain Name System
>  independent of US governmental control.

>  You can transmit this statement directly to the NTIA and key
