UN discusses new rules on Internet domain names

An anonymous reader wrote in to say "This Voice of America transcript mentions that a UN comittee is discussing rules to "protect trademark names on the Internet". While there may be some legitimate concern about folks claiming domain names like "ibm" in Upper Volta, why do I feel like this may be the camel's nose toward more UN regulation of the Internet? (Besides, how often do we see 'gopher:' URLs anymore?)"
