Transition Lawsuit

[Mueller, Milton L]

Their legal claims are utter rubbish. They are basically speculating that without USG oversight ICANN might destroy the .GOV domain. They are claiming that the root is US government property – a claim that GAO has already discredited – and they are claiming the NTIA didn’t provide an opportunity for public comment.
As Michael Froomkin said on Twitter, it’s not a matter of whether these claims will succeed or not, it’s a matter of how quickly they will be dismissed.

Thanks Ed,

I scanned the pleadings and would be very interested to see how the Court will treat with their legal arguments. Thanks for sharing.
