Michael Geist's Law Bytes column (Toronto Star version, Freely available version) focuses on the Internet governance issues that will take center stage at this week's World Summit on the Information Society. He argues that the current system requires change and that building on ICANN need not lead to U.N. control over the Internet nor to greater global censorship. I conclude that rather than rhetoric, compromise is needed based on the principles of transparency, inclusiveness, and respect for national sovereignty.
