Is this operational or dross?
Basically it sounds like the U.S. Gov't (NTIA)/U.S. Dept of Commerce
will take back control of the root name servers from ICANN at some
point. I suppose they might just contract operation of them to ICANN,
but its unclear to me.
I'm hesitant to post because if this were a huge deal I would have
expected someone to beat me to the punch. But then again, its a holiday
weekend in the U.S.
