In sudden announcement, US to give up control of DNS root zone

“In a historic decision on Friday, the United States has decided to give up control of the authoritative root zone file, which contains all names and addresses of all top-level domain names.  The new change is in advance of the upcoming ICANN meeting to be held in Brazil in April 2014. Brazil and other nations have fumed at revelations of American spying on its political leaders and corporations, which were first revealed in September 2013 as the result of documents distributed by whistleblower Edward Snowden.  ICANN President and CEO Fadi Chehadé lauded the decision as ‘historic’ and said that ICANN will be moving toward multi-stakeholder control.”
