Russians back down from leaked U.N. Internet proposal: CNet

CNet’s Larry Downes on how the Russian delegation to WCIT has moderated the language of its proposal.  Downes explains:

The revised proposal tones down some of the anti-Internet rhetoric of the original, but still calls on the UN to help member states seize control of key Internet engineering assets, including domain names, addresses and numbering.

Another great article from Downes on the topic.
