It is stupid and irresponsible to setup a new DNS root. End of story, read 2826. And.. if you let new.net do it then every other capitalist in the world will start doing it and then the Internet will become disfunctional, and what will that achieve? Stick to the single root, stand firm on this policy and new.net wont get far! Steve On Tue, 13 Mar 2001, Patrick Greenwell wrote:

Do any ISPs or web hosting companies have publically available statements on their web sites stating that they will not support the new new.net domains and why they won't? I am getting more requests from users to change our DNS root servers to support this and wanted to see what others tell their users. Any IETF/ICANN statement available?
RFC 2826 IAB Technical Comment on the Unique DNS Root
It would better be termed "IAB Political Comment on the Unique DNS Root."
