On October 1, 2016 (September 1, 2016 in the lunar calendar), the United States officially handed over the management of the Internet to end nearly 20 years of control. On October 1, 2016, the United States officially handed over the management of the Internet, which is a victory for Internet people and allows us to see an open, collaborative, and shared Internet. The transfer of documents The United States' management of the Internet begins with ICANN. ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) is a private non-profit organization established by the US government in 1998. It is regulated by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration under the US Department of Commerce. Responsible for the coordination, management and allocation of the global Internet Domain Name System, Root Server System, and Internet Protocol Address resources. The management of the global Internet domain name root server was previously handled by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), which is a subsidiary of ICANN. This means that control of the Internet is in the hands of the United States. In 2014, the US government decided to hand over the power to supervise ICANN and make it an independent agency, jointly managed by multiple stakeholders. This year, the US government said it would formally transfer the management of the Internet to a non-profit global Internet multi-stakeholder on October 1 this year. The move was fiercely opposed by US Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. The Trump campaign issued a statement saying: "The US Congress should prevent the government from transferring the management of Internet domain names on October 1, otherwise it will lose Internet freedom. Once this freedom is lost, there is no way to ensure that the Internet is actively used." Today's official transfer of Internet management in the United States represents the failure of all parties to block and represents the end of nearly 20 years of US dominance in the Internet field.
