The US government is asking for comments on how the internet should be
run, and anyone is allowed to comment - but you'll need to be quick.
The NTIA - an arm of the US government's department of commerce - is
holding a public meeting at the end of July over what should happen to
the current Internet overseeing organisation ICANN when its contract is
renewed in September. In the meantime, it has opened a public comment

sent by this Friday, 7 July. The email postal address is
