[AfrICANN-discuss] Four US states demand restraining order to stop the ICANN/IANA transition

[Hountomey Jean Robert]

The attorneys general of ARIZONA, TEXAS, OKLAHOMA and NEVADA demand
restraining order with five main claims:

   - The contract is US government property and requires explicit
   Congressional approval before it can be handed over.
   - The transition would violate the First Amendment.
   - The NTIA did not follow the correct public comment procedures.
   - The NTIA does not have the authority to hand over the contract.
   - The transition does not properly protect the .gov and .mil top-level
   domains.
