Looks like House will be in session this evening -- this is expected to come up around 1 am Eastern time, 05:00 UTC  -- now a prime ICANN meeting time :-(

Also, it appears that the Senate is going home tonight, so it will be difficult for the House to reinsert the rider

Here's my understanding of the current situation.  The Continuing Resolution (funding the US government) was approved by the US Senate without language defunding the "relinquishment" of IANA.  House still needs to pass the CR, but these are generally worked out between the houses beforehand, so any surprises are relatively unlikely, subject to some last-minute posturing.
