Hi Susan, I find that most people forget that the UN is an organization of governments. UN pronouncements, ideas etc. are therefore going to have a government perspective. It's built into the structure. Not only that, but the UN therefore sees ICANN as an extension of the US government, especially since it does report in some way to the Department of Commerce. I see the growing concern about Internet governance as a struggle between individuals, governments, and business, each with their own differing points of view.
