The hackernews headline really needs to not say "the UN".
All the article says is the ICANN, based in Los Angeles, is no longer under the Department of Commerce, but instead will be an "organisation that answers to multiple stakeholders". It does not go into detail as to who those stakeholders are.
It literally has nothing to do with the United Nations except for a paragraph that said the UN tried to take control in 2012 and the US (and others) shot down that idea.
