US Wants Police State Control of Internet (Icann)

Please rate subscribe and pass on. Thank you and Wake Up! If you have been following the issue of "net neutrality," it sounds great but you need to know that this issue like so many others out of the USA is a fake fraud. The reason that the USA government (which we all know) no longer does the work of the American people, want more control of what you can see, view and read on the net. So how would you like to know the real truth behind the story? I did so I did a little research. Now remember, I may be on you tube two or three hours a day. Why? I am committed to getting the truth out. Why do I have all this time on my hands? We cancelled our cable tv in 1995. Hey, why not be inspired yourself and start your own you tube channel instead of watching tv. In fact, cancel your TV okay? Especially with the digital cable boxes. These boxes are all about mind control. Okay okay, enough rambling back to our story....... ICANN is no longer a US controlled organization On Wednesday September 30 an 11-year series of memorandums of understanding between ICANN and the US Department of Commerce expired. The same day the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers reached a new agreement with the DOC that allows the nonprofit greater independence, while giving more countries oversight of the organization. The two parties concluded the new agreement called an Affirmation of Commitments which sets up reviews of ICANN's performance every three years, with members of ICANN advisory committees, the Department of Commerce (DOC), independent experts and others serving on the review teams. While the DOC remains to be involved in ICANN's Governmental Advisory Committee ICANN is no recognized as a global "private-sector led organization." The U.S. government will have "one seat at the table" for the three-year reviews, ICANN CEO Rod Beckstrom said in a video on the organization's site. "What it really means is we're going global," he said. "All the reviews and all the work done will be submitted for public comment to the world. But there's no separate or unique or separate reporting to the United States government. All the reporting is to the world; that's the real change." Under the terms of the new agreement ICANN becomes a "multi-stakeholder, private sector led, bottom-up policy development model for DNS technical coordination." The agreement also requires ICANN to "adhere to transparent and accountable budgeting processes, fact-based policy development, cross-community deliberations, and responsive consultation procedures that provide detailed explanations of the basis for decisions." The new agreement doesn't change the DOC's contract with ICANN to perform the functions of the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), which is responsible for the global coordination of the DNS Root, IP addressing, and other Internet protocol resources.
