Earlier quoted context omitted.

Which takes me to a google search page with the article as the top link, and when I click it I still get the paywall. Something I'm missing?

Try opening the Google link in incognito. Or don't, it's not really worth the effort to read such a biased piece.

worked for me.

>It’s up to Congress to block a surrender that could give control to authoritarian rulers. Oh, the irony!

If you know anything about the farce that is the UN Human Rights Council[0], the idea of some international coalition of governments having any control over the fundamental infrastructure of the internet should be concerning. All things considered, the IANA has been in good hands under the purview of ICANN and the US Department of Commerce.

Wasn't able to read the article since it was paywalled, but I'd guess this Economist piece is on the same matter: http://www.economist.com/news/international/21693922-organis...

wow it's a very, very different article! Try pasting the original url into the Google News search box in an incognito window.
