Earth Control: Countdown, by Alan Weisman

New York Times: If we wanted to bring about the extinction of the human race as quickly as possible, how might we proceed? We could begin by destroying the planet's atmosphere, making it incapable of supporting human life. We could invent bombs capable of obliterating the entire planet, and place them in the hands of those desperate enough to detonate them.

The National Telecommunications and Information Administration, part of the US Department of Commerce, said it intends "to transition key internet domain name functions to the global multistakeholder community". It has asked Icann to lead international talks on a new organisational model, to end the NTIA's role in overseeing the global domain name system (DNS). The announcement follows calls from the EU to Brazil that the US reduce its influence over the global internet, especially in light of the revelations of widespread communications surveillance by US intelligence authorities. Under a contract with Icann, the NTIA handles procedures such as administering changes to the authoritative root zone file the database containing the lists of names and addresses of all top-level domains as well as serving as the "historic steward" of the DNS. Icann already has a working group set up that is developing proposals to increase multistakeholder governance of the organisation. The group's final recommendations are expected in May.
