NTIA says ICANN "does not meet the requirements" for IANA renewal
http://j.mp/yeKoZj (Domain Incite)
"The National Telecommunications and Information Administration has
dealt a stunning blow to ICANN in its bid to carry on running the
internet's critical IANA functions. The NTIA said this hour that it
has canceled the RFP for the new IANA contract "because we received no
proposals that met the requirements requested by the global community"
NTIA thinks that ICANN's bid was unsatisfactory, in other words."

My assumption is that ICANN will find a way to quickly come back into
"technical" conformance at least, but this is still fairly dramatic.
