In one of the worst written stories I've ever seen in Ars, it's announced that -- in one of the best take-out-the-trash moments in Internet history (make the announcement not only on a Friday, but *during a NANOG*) -- NTIA is ceding control of the root DNS zone. The article very carefully does not say *to whom*; though it implies that it's ICANN. If that's the case, then I'm not sure there's actually, y'know, *news* here.

Well, crap. My apologies, all, for not checking the damn dateline; I won't tell you what popped that story up in front of me, cause I'd be too embarrassed. And I don't think BCP38 was gonna help me here. :-} Have a nice weekend... ----- Original Message -----
