[CCWG-ACCT] New Bill on IANA Transition

[Phil Corwin]

The chances of this bill becoming law are close to zero, unless it is attached to a larger "must pass" bill or added as a rider to an appropriations measure.

I'm not sure that the concept of "ownership" is a good fit for a TLD, but that language could always be modified to something along the lines of "permanent control".

Hi,

Two questions:

- what are the chances that this becomes law

- doesn't RFC1591 already take care of this?
