The United Nations’ recent examination of Internet governance does not portend a wholesale shift of control to the 
international body, the chief of the working group parsing the issue said Thursday.

"Our mandate was not a proposal for sweeping regime change," said Markus Kummer, executive coordinator of the U.N. 
Working Group on Internet Governance (WGIG). The group released a report July 14 that called for more international 
oversight in the operation of the domain-name system (DNS) for Internet addresses. Mr. Kummer made his remarks at a 
meeting sponsored by the Internet Governance Project at Syracuse University.
