Thanks Olevie!

Here is a bit more with some background. In addition to Olevie's link to 
the NTIA assessment report, NPOC members might like the results of 
NTIA's external expert consultation:

June 9, 2016: Larry Strickling of the U.S. government’s NTIA has 
announced that the IANA Transition and Accountability proposals 
developed by the ICANN community have met the criteria established by 
the NTIA.
The transition proposal has been accepted by the Executive branch of the 
U.S. government.

Quote from the Consultation: "Finally, NTIA commissioned a panel of 
corporate governance experts including Columbia Law Professor John 
Coffee , Brooklyn Law Professor Dana Brakman Reiser , and The Berkman 
Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University to review the ICANN 
accountability provisions. The expert panel concluded that the 
accountability recommendations are consistent with sound principles of 
good governance that reflect the unique and important mission of ICANN 
within the Internet ecosystem. In addition, the experts concluded that 
the proposal renders the prospects for takeover by a single government, 
group of governments, or one or more economic actors to be extremely 
remote.”
