As the dust settles, it appears that one new Root Name Server Confederation can be added to the world Round Table. Hopefully, each Root Name Server Confederation can present 2 delegates to represent the confederation. Here are the likely candidates. ===================================== AlterNIC - (4 servers) ........Eugene Kashpureff ........iPOC Member ?? eDNS - (5 servers) ........Karl Denninger ........Chris Ambler InterNIC (9 servers - U.S. Government, et. al.) ........Dr. Joseph Bordogna (NSF) ........William Schrader (PSI) name.space - (12 servers) ........Paul Garrin ........??? NSI/ISI - (4 servers) ........Gabe Battista (NSI) ........Jon Postel (ISI) uDNS - (3 servers) ........Ron Kimball ........Richard Shu ===================================== As these confederations take shape, these delegates can help to bring synchronization between all of the Root Name Server confederations so that collisions do not occur in the TLD name space. So far, many of these delegates seem to be very responsive to maintaining "synch". Of course some refuse to discuss matters in public. The general public (via ISPs) will eventually be able to select which Root Name Server Confederations are working together to build a better Internet. The people hiding in their ivory university towers will become irrelevant. -- Jim Fleming Unir Corporation http://www.Unir.Corp

<Stupid DNS B.S. Deleted> Jim, please keep your DNS-related posts off of NANOG. It is OFF-TOPIC for this mailing list. Thanks. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kevin W.

Folks- I am really sorry to see people leaving this list because of the inane DNS squabbling. Don't get me wrong it's important stuff to discuss. So rather than having this list get moderated (thereby losing its rare but timely problem announcements), why can't Fleming et al. create a new list and take all DNS issues there (Heck, call it nanog-dns). It is really disappointing to see valuable people leave because of the noise. Let's get this list back to North American network operations issues and cut out the political bull. ----------------------------------------- Esteban Gutierrez US ARMY Corps of Engineers CEAP Global Network Operations Center (503) 326-6126 On Fri, 30 May 1997, Kevin W.

This is silly. If this is sent to the nanog list (and I have yet to see a clear reason why it is considered a service to post it here), the least you can do is address your message to nanog... ie: "Hi, I am posting this to NANOG because...". I'm new to this list, and I'm disappointed that people are leaving due to the flood of mail about nameserver "confederations". I could really care less about this until there is some clear agreement as to who gets the new (e,u,alter)dns cash cow. In the month I've been on this list, I've found it to be extremely helpful, but recently, I hit "D" on way too many messages. It seems clear that no one wants to see this on the list, so unless there is a demand, please stop cross-posting. If I want to know about developments in this area, I'll subscribe to the appropriate lists; but please don't force me to by cc-ing these announcements here. If I'm out of line for posting, forgive me, but as a late-comer to the NANOG list, these postings seem totally irrelevant.
