Which "grip" is that, the one that ends tomorrow?

What ppl have mostly complained about is the idea that the USG COULD nix an
addition to the root zone file.  IIRC that "rubber stamp" ends tomorrow with
the JPA.

If you are talking about the contract to run the IANA that ICANN has with
the USG, then you are correct,  that is unlikely to change.

Who else would do this at zero cost? AFAIK, ICANN operates the IANA without
being paid to do so.
