MP seeks shift in India's stand on global Internet governance
Rajya Sabha MP Rajeev Chandrasekhar has written to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, asking him to withdraw India's recent position at the U.N. proposing governmental control over Internet. A 50-member government/ bureaucratic body through the formation of a United Nations Committee on Internet Related Policies (CIRP) was mooted. This proposal sought to replace the current multi-stakeholder governance model.
