Should governance of the Internet be turned over to the United Nations? It seems far-fetched, but that’s exactly what some foreign governments – including China and the European Union – are advocating. This dispute will reach the boiling point at an international conference in Tunisia on November 16-18. For those who can’t make it to Tunis, we invite you to The Heritage Foundation on the November 17 for a full and provocative discussion of the critical issues involved.
