The Bush administration and its critics at a UN summit have inked a broad agreement on global Internet management that will preclude any dramatic showdown this week. By signing the statement (.pdf), the Bush administration formally endorsed the creation of an 'Internet Governance Forum' that will meet for the first time in 2006 under the auspices of the UN. The forum is meant to be a central point for global discussions of everything from computer security and online crime to spam and other 'misuses of the Internet.' What the agreement does not do is require the US to relinquish its unique influence over the Internet's operations.

The decision as already been made , the Internet is being declared a Global communication system , nothing the US wil do and say will change that , at all , they never had control over it or where in charge at all at anytime.
The only thing they accomplished is show why its not a good idea anymore to use the US to headquarter a non-profit Global organisation.
