Internet transition triggers GOP backlash
http://j.mp/1cNkRjr (Politico)
"The Obama administration's decision to relinquish oversight over
the group that manages the Internet's architecture has raised an
early red flag with Republicans, who blast the move as a threat to
free speech. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and
Numbers has managed the Web's domain-name system under contract
with the U.S. government for more than a decade - but the Los
Angeles-based nonprofit has worked to transform itself into a
global organization free of U.S. ties. European Union officials
backed the globalization effort, which intensified with Edward
Snowden's leaks about the NSA's sprawling surveillance programs."

In fact, it's triggering backlashes all over the place. My inbox has
been loaded on this topic since the announcement.
