IP: EUROPEANS TELL U.S. TO INCLUDE THEM IN

[Dave Farber <farber () cis upenn edu>]

A meeting of the European Union concluded with a warning that Europe does
not want to be excluded from planning the future direction of the Internet;
the warning was in response to an American "green paper" that proposed a
new arrangement for managing domain names on the Internet (such as ".com",
".org.", and adding new ones).  The EU said the U.S. proposals would "in
the name of the globalisation and privatisation of the Internet, seem to
consolidate permanent U.S. jurisdiction over the Internet as a whole."
