U.S. Government Retains ICANN Oversight

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the not-going-anywhere dept.

narramissic writes "ITworld reports that the U.S. Commerce Department will retain ICANN oversight for three more years, although there will be a review in 18 months of ICANN's progress toward becoming a more stable, transparent and accountable organization. The decision comes despite international pressure advocating for the U.S. government to bow out and make ICANN a totally autonomous entity."

    The IRS is illegal! There is NO LAW REQUIRING YOU TO PAY TAXES! Over 66 million people don't file taxes every year (some because they can't figure out how). The IRS CANNOT get EVERYONE!
