No one has mentioned anything about adding new root nameservers. Of the over 25 signatories (so far), MCI is just one. UUnet, Digital, France Telecom, EFF, are others that come to mind. The IAHC was selected by IAB, IANA, ISOC, INTA, WIPO, ITU and NSF. The entire discussion was held in public covering 8000 emails over a period of 3 months. You can see all details at www.iahc.org including the MoU that will be signed at the end of April in Geneva at the ITU. No one is adding root servers and gTLDs as they wish. Please do not go by what you read in 3 paragraph newspaper articles since much of what is stated is inaccurate. Go to the site and go thru all the materials.
