(I assume that discussion of this has been running
 over on the WSIS Internet Governance list. I send this
 in case others do not know about it.)

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 
board where you are able to email comments for the US government and the 
rest of the world to see. The board is open now but comments need to be 
sent by this Friday, 7 July. The email postal address is 
DNSTransition at ntia.doc.gov.
