The U.S. National Telecommunications and Information Administration is planning to end its formal partnership with ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) in 2015. ICANN's contract for operating key domain name functions will expire in September 2015. ICANN's responsibilities include operating the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) and the global coordinator for the DNS.
In a press conference, U.S. Commerce Department’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) administrator Lawrence Strickling said of the shift in responsibilities:

Such functions, some feel, affect business, security, privacy and economic growth.
