I think ICANN, I think ICANN...
Will ICANN allow the U.N.'s control of the Web to begin?..·
The growth of the Internet Web
helps freedom advance 'stead of ebb,
so freedom demands
that government hands
do little in weaving the Web.
Reports say that soon the UN
intends to propose to begin
control of the Net
to aid and abet
the Third World's desires to get in.
Because the UN is the worstest
in helping the lastest be firstest,
to let it control
the Internet's folds,
it soon would become the Interred Net.
So ICANN¹ should tell Kofi Annan²
that if the UN won't abandon
its trigger-lock plank,
then ICANN will yank
permission to lock its ICANNon.·

¹·ICANN (pronounced eye-can) is the acronym for The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). It's the non-profit corporation that was formed to assume responsibility for the IP address space allocation, protocol parameter assignment, domain name system management, and root server system management functions previously performed under U.S. Government contract by IANA and other entities. Here's the site: http://www.icann.org/.
²·Reports some time ago quoted Kofi Annan as expressing a preference for the English pronunciation of his last name to rhyme with "cannon" rather than "anon." --Jim Wrenn, Editor@PoliSat.Com.·
