βWe donβt want to break the Internet,β said Laura DeNardis, a professor at American University and the author of βThe Global War for Internet Governance,β a recent book on the subject.
I see more censorship and more trouble for domainers coming with this new oversight.
Right now, ICANN, with all its inherent flaws, still allows domainers to earn.
Things could change.

If you read the follow-up from Mr. Strickling to all the resultant wailing and trembling after the initial "announcement", the US govt has no plans of "giving up" internet control (or call it what you will).

I need to read it myself.
We will continue to advocate for U.S. interests and an open Internet through our role on ICANNβs Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) and in other international venues including the Internet Governance Forum.
Oh come on. With all that the US Govt has vested in the interwebs not to mention the national security issues of such an incredible(ly stupid) move, do you honestly believe they would do such a thing?Translation: We will give up power.
