The United States announced it does not agree with the European Union officials' proposal to share more of the control of the Internet with the United Nations. U.S. Bureau of Economic and Business Affairs Ambassador David Gross said, "We will not agree to the U.N. taking over the management of the Internet." Mr. Gross is coordinator for international communications and information policy at the U.S. Department of State and said further, “ Some countries want that. We think that's unacceptable. No intergovernmental body should control the Internet, whether it ’ s the U.N. or any other." E.U. spokesman Martin Selmay said, “ We are looking for a new cooperation model; a model that allows Internet governance and the laying down of public policy principles in coordination by all countries which are interested in the governance of the Internet, because the Internet is a global resource."
