Hopefully, this will just involve transferring the governing authority away from the U.S. government without changing how the IETF/IANA are actually operated.

Hopefully, this will just involve transferring the governing authority away from the U.S. government without changing how the IETF/IANA are actually operated. It would be bad if the traditional, international standards-setting organizations (e.g. ITU, ISO, ECMA, IEEE, etc.) ended up gaining control over the IETF/IANA, and they've been eying for it for some time now.
