<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote">Hopefully with everyone over their jetlag from the trip back from Singapore, the US Congress now gets to talk IANA. Since the NTIA globalization announcement back on March 14, politicians from <a href="https://twitter.com/newtgingrich/status/444608973455384576">Newt Gingrich</a> to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sarahpalin/posts/10201681563024880">Sarah Palin</a> have raised concerns that it is a US giveaway of a strategic asset. Congress is certainly going to paying close attention as the process develops. Every Internet user worldwide has an interest in the four factors in the hearing's title - Security, Stability, Resilience, and Freedom - and thus the answers to the questions listed below. We in turn should pay close attention to Congress, <br>
