A nonprofit representing tech and telecommunication companies like Google, Microsoft, and AT&T is warning Congress not to interfere with the planned transference of an organization that oversees key functions on the Internet, and says that effort would risk “alienating” America’s allies.

Ted Cruz, R-Texas, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., and Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del.
