"Tech fears shadow campaign to seize control of Internet"
http://j.mp/1iHQ6uU (The Hill)
"Fearing a power grab for control of the Internet, members of the tech
industry are pleading with Congress to pay attention to the domain
name expansion that is underway at a little-known nonprofit. The
Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), led by
its CEO Fadi Chehade, last year began rolling out thousands of
alternatives to the traditional .com ending used by most websites. New
endings using the Latin alphabet, such as .clothing and .singles,
became available in January, and hundreds of others are on the way."
