This is fantastic work and spans beyond 2 years with diverse organisations and individuals lobbying, educating, blogging, debating, forums etc on what we have just witnessed.

The US through the NTIA are giving up the power to approve changes to the root zone file (RZF). That is neither a domain name nor a property right. The RZF is a publicly shared data set.
