Icann And The Problem Of Legitimacy, Jonathan Weinberg Oct 2000

Icann And The Problem Of Legitimacy, Jonathan Weinberg

Duke Law Journal

Two years ago, an entity called the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) was formed to take control of the Internet's infrastructure of domain name and IP address identifiers.
