This is a pretty technical and confusing issue for people who aren't at a pretty high level of network/tech savvy, and I encourage people to do some research on it.

Here's the bottom line.
- ICANN essentially controls the internet (domain registrations)
- It is controlled by a... very questionable... but at least American controlled organization
- Obama wants to relinquish control to an "international body" -- possibly a UN council (read: countries that might hold our values of freedom very highly. ie, the rest of the world)
- It is potentially a critical national security issue at worst, and extremely bad for the internet at best.
