Wasn’t saying it’s the last word on this, especially given Trump’s stated opposition. Just that a group of House Conservatives who might have been expected to have it on their wish list did not.

Interesting although I wouldn't call it dispositive. There was no rule, regulation, or executive order that allowed the IANA Contract to expire and for ICANN to take up a self-presumptive role in the vacuum, so I'm not sure why it would have appeared on this list in any event. Interesting days ahead, one way or the other, as whomever ends up dealing with ICANN from the Trump administration will very likely have a different approach than we have seen over these last 8 years (at least if his current cabinet appointments are any accurate indication of change coming).

Tellingly, it has no mention of the Commerce Department or any of its rules or actions, including the IANA Transition, indicating that any attempt by Congress to revisit or reverse that decision is not likely to occur, at least based upon present information. The agenda is available at https://meadows.house.gov/first-100-days Philip S.
