About that “proposal for the UN to control the Internet”…

There’s a kerfuffle ongoing about whether the UN is trying to take over the Internet. The problem proposal: “31B 3A.2 Member States shall have equal rights to manage the Internet, including in regard to the allotment, assignment and reclamation of Internet numbering, naming, addressing and identification resources and to support for the operation and development of basic Internet infrastructure.” What nobody seems to be talking about is why this proposal has been brought forward.
