According to a summary of the bill, it
would "make sure that ICANN does not succumb to foreign pressure" to
end its relationship with the U.S. government.

ICANN is only one part of a comprehensive and authoritarian approach

According to "a summary" of the bill ?  Summary from whom? ICANN may be mentioned in that summary, but is ICANN mentioned in the BIl ?
