[PROCON]

The federal government need only renew that contract by September 30 or ICANN becomes a ‘free agent’ which can secretly wheel and deal with anyone on earth.

I'm dense, who renews the contract, Congress I hope?

But since ICANN falls under the jurisdiction of the Dept. of Commerce, I imagine the Executive Branch has final say?

The Executive Branch must be pressured to sign the contract renewal even it it takes impeachment. We’ll probably see a lawsuit or some other gamble, but the more public awareness the better.
