Colleagues,

Recently, The National Academies Computer Science Telecommunications
Board study, "Signposts in Cyberspace" was released. It deals in detail
with "Internet Governance" issues surrounding the DNS. I was on the
study committee and think its worth the attention of your readers. 

A "summary brochure" highlighting the report contents and takes readers
to the download site. It is at:

http://www.cstb.org/dns/signpost.html 

Unlike anything else available on the topic, it provides a compendium
of historical information, technical details, and reasoned analysis
about alternative courses of policy by a group of experts representing
and considering a wide range of viewpoints. We agreed on some things and
not on others- and the report details why.
