As reported here, the recently completed UN summit in Tunisia left control of the Internet in the hands of the US and ICANN, the California based not-for-profit organization. But, the UN isn't finished with it's desire to wrest control of the Internet from the US, as they set up the Internet Governance Forum to explore ways to accomplish that goal.
Amazingly enough, US legislators understand the importance of maintaining US control over the Internet, as the House unanimously passed a resolution regarding this issue, with the Senate also having a resolution before it, sponsored by Sen. Ron Coleman (R-Minn).
I posted about this issue earlier here, and here.
