NTIA cedes root zone control

[jra at baylink.com (Jay Ashworth)]

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.  But...
