Marked as misleading for this part of the article
The title suggests that the U.S. govt would give up all control of the internet. Firstly, the U.S. government doesn't "control" the entirety of the internet. They had control of Icann, but Icann doesn't run the internet. It just runs things like DNS. Yes, DNS is important, but it's not the entire internet. Furthermore, owning Icann doesn't give you control over the internet, just naming services.
That being said, the U.S. government isn't giving up control of Icann. They are just saying that stakeholders can setup how Icann works, but the U.S. govt still has to approve the plan.

Not surprising that a Guardian article is misleading. I'm shocked any article from that site got this many upvoats. That place is tabloid trash.
