<br>
It’s now a few minutes after midnight in Washington, DC. The IANA contract between NTIA and ICANN has expired.<br>
<br>
ICANN is now performing the IANA Numbering Services (assigning IP addresses and ASNs to RIRs, and some related tasks) in terms of a contract between the RIRs and ICANN, instead of in terms of a contract between the NTIA and ICANN. ICANN asked for permission to sub-contract the IANA Numbering Services to PTI, and the RIRs consented, so the IANA functions will actually be performed by PTI, although ICANN remains responsible.<br>
<br>
Apart from announcements and press releases, you will probably not notice much difference.<br>
<br>
