Do you think it's _NEW_ for me? I'v want just to highlight this point... Here in Russia .ru sub-root name servers just get funds from the *.ru fee's; and it's wonderful (not for me but in principle) why . owners don't see at least 50% of the *. fee money. And no doubt .com fee should not be 50$/year (for the NETSOL company which MUST pay this fee). // Sorry, I'v add 'nanog' to this post because it's really the question Internet // society should ask now, when a lot of different fee's was introduced. I don't // like to see the ruins of Internet in a few next years... just because some // landlords catched the services which are mandatory for the Internet.
Got news for you ... the root-server.net operators don't see that money unless they happen to also work for NSI. The other operators don't get a dime of it. Albeit, they should. Likewise, IANA does not get access to these funds.
I think that we are on the same page here. I too am worried about the future of the Internet. I get real nervous about volunteers (not to talk bad about them, but to cheer them) not being paid for critical services. This means that they can stop volunteering at any time and no one can hold them to SLA standards. IMHO, this is a scarey thing. The Internet is sufficiently profitable that these services should now be paid for. It is also a point that I made in /ICANN/DNSO/WG-C (see. <http://www.dnso.net/library/dnso-tld.mhsc-position.shtml>). We are now sufficiently far from NANOG topic that I'll crawl back into my hole now... before the nukes arrive.<grin> ------------------------------------------ R O E L A N D M. J.
