Internet handover is go-go-go! ICANN to take IANA from US govt

Mark 85

I'm still not sure if we should overjoyed at this or very scared. The UN's politics and meddling, ICANN's lack of accountability are a problem that will come back to bite the internet. On the other hand, freedom from any individual government's contractural control is probably good but that's countered by any under the table exchange of presents with ICANN that might happen.

This may be the best that can happen although getting ICANN to be more accountable doesn't seem likely and the best shot at doing this is now lost.
