I have been following the various threads relating to Verisign and wanted to make one comment that I feel has been missing. Simply put, I would like to publicly express my appreciation to Mr. Vixie for taking the time to add the "root-delegation-only" patch for Bind. I'm fairly new to NANOG, but I'm sure that others beside myself also feel a thank you is appropriate.
Absolutely. Special thanks are also due to the members of the ISC BIND Forum for their financial support of such efforts. Verisign's ill-advised actions have put DNS and other Internet governance issues on the radar of many, including myself. I'm considering an 'individual' ($200/yr) membership to the BIND Forum, and I encourage others who haven't already to do the same. -Graham Freeman http://www.jahiel.net/
