He said it is a big fuss about nothing.
It has been in process for a long time. The real change is not renewing a contract that pays ICANN from the government purse.
It is only removing a small amount of U.S. government influence on the ICANN.
Now, if China bought the ICANN corporation, and said they were moving it to China, it might be a small problem, my S-I-L said.
So, this is a long planned, slowly implemented way to remove government funding of part of ICANN.
