<p class="MsoNormal">The letter yesterday from Senator Cruz et.al, referenced a legal opinion from the General Counsel at the Department of Commerce. I had not seen that letter before and wasn’t even aware that it had been issued. I managed to track it down.
Here is a link, for those who are interested in the question: getliberty.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/15.06.11-Strickling-Response-on-NTIA-and-IANA-Property-Letter.pdf
