Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), non profit organization, which was, since 1998 responsible for the allocation of TLDs (top level domains) and IP addresses on the Internet, is changing the agreement. Existing agreement with USA  expired in late September. By signing of the new agreement ICANN’s aspirations for the independence supported by European Union came true. ICANN will no longer answer to the U.S. ICANN still remains non-profit organization, but now no longer under the control of any single country. The European Commission has already expressed his satisfaction with the new regime.

Whether this brings any changes to registering domains under any TLD remains unknown, but judging from experience things will go just more smoothly from now on… Also it is not likely that domain pricing will change.
