IANA has accepted even very poor requests from governments like the one from .SO last year.
ICANN or IANA?
Both, really. IANA handles plenty of requests to change servers and such without redelegation.
I don't remember the details but didn't the the US gov't transfer .us without even bothering with ICANN or IANA?
It's hard to see how they could have moved the servers to Neustar without telling IANA. There's nothing in the board minutes, but since it was under control of the DOC before and after the Neustar contract, if I were DOC, I wouldn't have asked ICANN either. R's, John
