NTIA cedes root zone control

In one of the worst written stories I've ever seen in Ars, it's announced
that -- in one of the best take-out-the-trash moments in Internet history
(make the announcement not only on a Friday, but *during a NANOG*) -- NTIA
is ceding control of the root DNS zone.

The article very carefully does not say *to whom*; though it implies that
it's ICANN.

If that's the case, then I'm not sure there's actually, y'know, *news*
here. But...

Well, crap.

My apologies, all, for not checking the damn dateline; I won't tell
you what popped that story up in front of me, cause I'd be too
embarrassed.

And I don't think BCP38 was gonna help me here. :-}

Have a nice weekend...
