Well, since the "key" is the a.root-server.net, I'd say that they haven't given
it to ICANN.  They specifically retained control over it, and directed that it
will remain with NSI under the direction of the DoC for right now.   The DoC is
supposedly to remain very active in their supervision of the process still.
