google link to bypass paywall [1] [1]: https://www.google.com/#q=http:%2F%2Fwww.wsj.com%2Farticles%...

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?

That's odd. The idea is that WSJ allows non-paywalled referrals from google so I figured posting the link to the google search would help. Sorry about that. I don't know why it's still paywalled for you..

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

I don't really follow ICANN news. I have some vague idea that they've made some questionable moves over the past several years.

I know nothing of the Obama administration's involvement.

Could somebody translate the article into a form I understand? ICANN manages the sale/assignment of IP addresses and manages the Root DNS Servers, right?

How does USA currently control them and what does the proposed change mean?
