Internet transition triggers GOP backlash

http://j.mp/1cNkRjr  (Politico)

   "The Obama administration's decision to relinquish oversight over
    the group that manages the Internet's architecture has raised an
    early red flag with Republicans, who blast the move as a threat to
    free speech.  The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and
    Numbers has managed the Web's domain-name system under contract
    with the U.S. government for more than a decade - but the Los
    Angeles-based nonprofit has worked to transform itself into a
    global organization free of U.S.  ties. European Union officials
    backed the globalization effort, which intensified with Edward
    Snowden's leaks about the NSA's sprawling surveillance programs."

In fact, it's triggering backlashes all over the place. My inbox has
been loaded on this topic since the announcement.
