Russia's Telecoms Minister Igor Shchegolev has criticised ICANN,
disapproving "of the situation when a single U.S.-based organization
has control over the Internet and will soon voice it suggestions on how
to 'demonopolise' it."
Shchegolev said the situation where the Internet is "de facto
controlled by a single organization from a single country" is wrong,
reports Vedomosti daily with Russia's suggestions on how to change the
situation to be presented at the ICANN meeting in Mexico City.
The minister declined to comment on what the suggestions are, but the
article says "but another ministerial official said several countries
including Brazil, India, China and some African countries support
Russia's position."
