As there was much interest yesterday, I thought I would share this update from the Washington Post on negotiations regarding the US budget and their effect on the IANA transition: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2016/09/20/senate-leaders-s ay-they-are-close-to-deal-to-prevent-government-shutdown-provide-zika-funds/ FWIW, in my opinion the Post is more or less our "home town" newspaper and tends to have solid sourcing for articles like this.
