Now here's an idea that shows us just how savvy a community organizer can be. The Obama administration wants to give up US control over the organization that administers the Internet, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), which is based in Los Angeles.

It operates under a contract with the Commerce Department's National Telecommunications and Information Administration, and last Friday this agency announced that it wants ICANN to go global and develop a new governing structure to make this happen. The change would involve multiple "stakeholders."
