Well, actually within eDNS these people are more like volunteers. But everyone has donated their feed, machines and time to make our current model work. Actually Karl Denninger deserves the lions' share of the credit for eDNS holding together thus far.

I don't know if changing the policy under which root servers are run (or the people that run them) is a long term solution and I'll leave the short term question to be debated by others. However, I am curious if there might be a better method to name service design which would lessen the dependancy on a set of root servers. Is anyone aware of proposals for aternative methods of implementing nameservice?

Nothing serious of which I am aware.

namedroppers@internic.net is the list for discussion of name service technology and protocols, but not really for ops issues. randy
