CDT Warns Of Confusing Internet Terminology
Confusing concepts like "Internet governance" and "critical Internet resources" could divert attention from key barriers to Web development and could fuel calls for government intervention that would undermine the Internet's openness, the Center for Democracy and Technology said in paper released Wednesday.
The document was unveiled at the Internet Governance Forum in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. "Critical Internet resources," or CIR, is one of several general themes of the conference.
While CIR has become a code word in some circles for the domain name system, the CDT paper identifies a broad range of concerns and warns against wholesale change in the structure of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers.
CDT's paper can be found here and you can read more about the forum in Technology Daily's PM Edition.
