well thats good i guess.

this is the part that interests me more:

"The IANA contract covers only the technical aspects of the Internet's naming systems, whereas the MoU covers the eventual transition of ICANN from a government-controlled entity to the private sector.

Internet users from outside the US, including members of the United Nation's Working Group on Internet Governance, have criticised the MoU, saying the relationship puts ICANN under control of the US government. The MoU expires on 30 September"
