RE: September COOK Report focus on net governance & IANA authority issues

The obvious solution is for the U.S. Government to remove their Root Name Servers from commercial use and to discourage Universities and non-profit companies from supplying these commercial services. This action would leave the NSI server and the PSI server from the Legacy Root Name Server Confederation. Those severs could be combined with the existing eDNS Root Name Servers to make a Root Name Server Confederation with reasonable connectivity in North America. NSI could change the file that ISPs download to obtain their hints. The eDNS Root Name Server owners/operators and the people on the NANOG list might want to discuss this possible scenario. In light of the recent DNS disasters, it is good to do more advanced planning and of course to keep fixing the DNS software. -- Jim Fleming Unir Corporation
Hot Diggety! Jim Fleming was rumored to have said...
Please, Jim... you've already CC'ed the appropriate lists... edns and com-priv. Not to be an ass... but there is *no* need to drag^H^H^H^Hinclude NANOG on this. Any follow-ups to this... please send to me privately, so not to pollute the list any further. I think that we (NANOG folks) by now know where to go if we want to read on about DNS politics/issues/whatnot. Jim... Jim... before you post to the NANOG list, just take a brief pop quiz... "Is it involving *operational* issues or technical issues worthy of North American network operators' immediate attention?" If not, NANOG probably isn't the best place to discuss something. Apologies to the list for the non-operational post. Posted here as well to head off the off-topic responses, if possible. Back to lurk mode for me... Anybody want to get that moderated NANOG list going? I volunteer to help... -Dan Foster Internet: dsf@frontiernet.net
