[kictanet] Can the Trump Administration increase it's powers over ICANN?

Fri Jan 27 21:45:22 EAT 2017

Interesting one.

One thing that comes out from this is story is that this new administration simply have no clue of how this works. I'm curious though:-

Can they reverse the transition that is already underway? And how will the rest of the world react?
