Icann, the body that administrates the internet, is an organisation that most people find byzantine and confusing. The non-profit body oversees many different aspects of our online life, most importantly the domain names that websites use (including approving new extensions like .mobi and .tel).
The organisation is given its mandate by the US government - a deal which is not only controversial, but is due to expire this week. It's expected that a new deal will give Icann more distance from Washington, although it's not clear yet whether (as some have claimed) or simply be a little more independent.
I'll be talking to new chief executive Rod Beckstrom about Icann's status on Wednesday, but thought that it would be a great chance to give Guardian readers the chance to ask him their own questions: I can't promise I'll be able to ask all of them, but if you leave your query in the comments below, I will try to get some answers.
