Instead,
governments should join together to fight electronic crime globally and develop best practices to encourage the growth of Internet commerce. "We need the U.N. to foster global standards, global frameworks," said Cerf, who is chairman of ICANN, the U.S.-based body governing Internet domain names. "We don't need redundant coordinating bodies, but what we do needand don't have are parts of the U.N. to look at issues such as electronic commerce, the question of digital signatures, tax, fraud and enforcement."
