[CCWG-ACCT] New Bill on IANA Transition

[Greg Shatan]

This has just been reported to me (hat-tip to Steve Metalitz):

The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority transition got a new legislative
challenge in the House Wednesday via the Securing America’s Internet
Domains Act (HR-5329). Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Pa., bowed the bill, which would
require NTIA to extend its existing contract with ICANN to administer the
IANA functions through Sept. 30, 2019, unless the agency can certify it
secured the U.S. government’s “sole ownership” of the .gov and .mil
top-level domains.
