CEO Fadi Chehade will get his wish:

....an opportunity to hand off control of the core of the Internet from the US government TO a 'variety' of involved stakeholders' from across the world.

I think what is important to focus on today is the trust in the global community that is displayed in the US' decision here," Chehadé told the press. "There is now full trust in the superiority of the multi-stakeholder model, the open model that enabled the Internet to be what it is today. That's the news today, really."

For his part, Crocker maintained that ICANN's transition out of US hands was a long time coming, and that today's announcement didn't have anything to do with Snowden.

So whoever then has the most invested gets the say?

The primary thoughts that come to mind are “Taxes”, “Redistribution”, and “Censor”.

Anyone who didn't see this coming wasn't paying attention.

No matter, if it must die, then so be it. Something better will replace it that more than likely will not be controlled by any government. Bureaucratic control will only spur the desire for a free market type solution, IMO.
