Commission says NSA revelations call into question US role in internet governance, which should be more global

Setting out proposals on how the world wide web should function and be regulated, the European commission called for a shift away from the California-based Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (Icann), which is subject to US law, is contracted by the US administration and is empowered to supervise how digital traffic operates.
"Recent revelations of large-scale surveillance have called into question the stewardship of the US when it comes to internet governance," said the commission.
