I trust your assessment of the DNS techs. But what about the DNS tech's bosses? They ordered some pretty lumpy things be done with .com and .net. Given that track record, whats to stop them from ordering the GTLD techs from doing something equally lumpy.
To pull a stunt like that at the root, they'd have to get the OTHER 9 or 10 organizations to buy in, or they'd find themselves outvotes 13 servers to 2, or whatever the exact numbers are....
Yes, I understand that. But based on their recent actions I dont feel anyone should trust Verisign to act towards any of the Internet community's best interests let alone 1/13th of its core functionality. I think there is a fundamental breaking of trust here. (IMHO anyways) ---Mike
