WASHINGTON, DC -- The recent decision by the Obama administration to give up U.S. oversight of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and the domain name system is alarming. Even former President Bill Clinton and the left-leaning editorial board of The Washington Post have expressed concerns about this pending transition, noting that empowering international actors might very well facilitate crackdowns on internet freedom.
