A meeting of the European Union concluded with a warning that Europe does not want to be excluded from planning the future direction of the Internet; the warning was in response to an American "green paper" that proposed a new arrangement for managing domain names on the Internet (such as ".com", ".org.", and adding new ones). The EU said the U.S. proposals would "in the name of the globalisation and privatisation of the Internet, seem to consolidate permanent U.S. jurisdiction over the Internet as a whole."
