I hope that the root servers are not turned over to this ICANN group. I believe this to be a disaster in waiting and will not remedy the problem as it exists.

I am going to stick to the operational comments: ICANN plans on taking control of the root servers. It is my understanding that the current "l.root-servers.net" server is being designated as the new authoratative source server. NSI is under contract to turn over the A root server at the order of the Department of Commerce which they have said they will do.
