Actually, there is a nice US Supreme Court ruling that any documents under the _control_ of the agency _are_ subject to FOIA. The database that moved from SRI to NSI did so as part of a contract with NSF (and DARPA before them). Therefore, the control argument should hold. But you'd have to test it in court.

TCG is currently experiencing a major fibre cut in chicago. Their NCC could not give me a firm commit to the number of ds3s which have been affected, but estimates already range over 100. TCG was unable to provide an estimated time of completion on the emergency maintenance. BR

Keep in mind that some of that data finds its way to the legacy Root Name Server Cluster (RSC) that doubles as the .COM TLD Name Server Cluster. At the end of this month, the U.S. Government will no longer have control of this RSC. NSI will have control by virtue of the fact that they control the server that the others pull BOTH the root zone from as well as the COM zone (plus a few others including IN-ADDR.ARPA). Hopefully, NSI will work with the other RSC owner/operators to coordinate not only the legacy RSC but also the other numerous RSCs in operation around the world. The TLDs that are already in 99% of the other RSCs can now be easily added to the legacy RSC next month. The diverse group of organizations shown below can vote on which TLDs to support and publish their list, just like other RSCs. In my opinion, I think that the IETF should encourage people to evolve that legacy RSC away from being an RSC. It can remain as the .COM TLD Cluster. There is one sticky point in that which is that some of the servers are U.S. Government property. It may not be prudent for NSI to be running relying on those servers to support their .COM enterprise. I think there are federal laws against using government computers for private business. 1.
