Plan for international Internet governance gets just 14 comments in two weeks

Members of Congress have said the plan to give up control of certain Internet functions could give authoritarian regimes too much power, but so far at least, members of the public don’t seem too concerned.

The plan is to move the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority from U.S. to international control, and the IANA’s public-private Transition Coordination Group asked for comment on its 199-page plan back in July. But as of Aug. 14, the ICG had only received 14 responses, mostly a scattered group of individuals.
