NTIA had been contracting for IANA functions. At the end of the process, they simply didn’t renew the contract, which released ICANN and the community to its own devices. Of course, NTIA required that the community have a process for the communities (really, there are three distinct IANA constituencies) to manage the IANA functions contract going forward and an orderly transition process. If the community had failed to achieve this, likely NTIA would have renewed the contract. <div><br></div><div>However in the current state, where the contract expired and other legal structures have been put in place outside of the USG, it’s actually pretty far fetched to believe USG could nationalize the IANA again.
