Internet Governance: A Right and an Obligation
Trivandrum: Participation of countries in the governance of the Internet is both a right and an obligation, says Dr. Katim Touray, a former Director of the Board of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). ICANN is the entity that is responsible for the co-ordinated allocation and use of global Internet resources such as domain names, IP addresses (both IPv4 and IPv6), root servers, new Top Level Domain (TLDs) and Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs).
