"Reporting to God"

This is from the ITU newslog ..

The Economist once said: "if the Net does have a God, he is probably Jon Postel." David Maher, Senior Vice President, Law and Policy at PIR has published his memoirs of the early day attempts to revamp the internet's domain name system, which he has entitled Reporting to God. Ten years later, it appears that decisions surrounding the DNS remain as equally controversial as in the mid-1990's.
