Internet: organisation and management, international and European policy issues 1998-2000.

The European Parliament adopted by 422 to 1 with 12 abstentions a resolution by Massimo CARRARO (PES, I) on the Commission communication on the organisation and management of the Internet. The report focuses mainly on issues relating to ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. (Please refer to the previous document). In addition, the Parliament also passed an amendment emphasising that the new domain names have been introduced too slowly. When other new domain names are to be created in the future, the process will have to be conducted more transparently and democratically. �
