India questions US dominance over critical internet resources

India expressed reservations over control of critical internet resources like allocation of domain names by a US contracted entity, on Thursday, saying this cannot really be reflective of the international character or community of internet users.

 

 
 
Deputy National Security Advisor Nehchal Sandhu said internet has become a global phenomena and therefore its management must reflect this universality and diversity. 
Sandhu said under the existing institutional architecture for internet governance, the International Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) performs two functions -- the Internet Assigned Names Authority (IANA) whereby it controls entries to the authoritative Root Zone File of the Internet and secondly the management of the Domain Name System (DNS) including allocation of Top Level Domain (TLD) names
