The article presents the author's views as to who should govern the Internet. The author says that as the agitation for shared control is increasing, the U.S. will have to, sooner or later, share oversight of Internet management with the rest of the world. Internet governance as a contentious issue in world affairs, was highlighted by the United Nations' sponsored World Summit on the Information Society held on November 16, 2005 in Tunis, Italy. Although the outcome of the meeting did not resulted in any change in U.S. oversight of the Internet Corp. for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and hence apparent control over crucial aspects of the network, the attendees did agree to establish the Internet Governance Forum for discussing Internet-related issues. Until 1998, the Internet was born and raised in the U.S. and was managed by the U.S. Department of Commerce. In 1998, ICANN, a private corporation, was given the management task even as the Department of Commerce continued to play a supervisory role.
