>> I don't know that the NTIA's decided not to renew the contract with ICANN. My understanding is that they have invited a multistakeholder proposal for a new entity to take over responsibility for the IANA functions, before the current contract expires.  That they find that proposal acceptable is not assured. Whether the ICANN contract. will be renewed  - by NTIA or the new entity, if formed in time - is yet to be determined.
