Really? Then why has Paul Vixie posted publically that f.root-servers.net was paid for in whole or part by NSI? How many others are paid for in whole or part by NSI? Perry, you're just dead wrong here.
and they do not appear to be consenting to this "work".
I do not believe that their consent or lack thereof is an issue. NSI is a company doing a job under contract. I do not know if they do or do not believe otherwise, but that is not really material.
Hehehe...
Then again, the IAHC has failed to substantiate that any of the IANA servers will actually *implement* any of their recommendations.
I was unaware that such documentation was needed.

Of course it is. You can recommend anything you want, but if you have nobody who will insert the pointers, its a worthless exercise in handwaving. -- -- Karl Denninger (karl@MCS.Net)| MCSNet - The Finest Internet Connectivity http://www.mcs.net/~karl | T1's from $600 monthly to FULL DS-3 Service | 99 Analog numbers, 77 ISDN, http://www.mcs.net/ Voice: [+1 312 803-MCS1 x219]| NOW Serving 56kbps DIGITAL on our analog lines!
