The US hands over the IANA stewardship to ICANN.
DIFO's former vicedirector Lise Fuhr was very involved in IANA Stewardship Transition. In 2015, Lise was a part of designing the transition solution that the US have approved today.
Formally USA has the ultimate responsibility for DNS through IANA, as IANA has had a contract with the US Chamber of Commerce. This contract will from now on be transferred to ICANN.
