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.

As I understand it, the root servers will stay put, where they are and operated by the current group of operators.

That is not entirely true.

Methinks the reporter here has a serious misunderstanding of the issues. As to the "problem that exists", I can only hope that you are right and we only have a single "problem".

I didn't see the reporter injecting commentary in the article, instead sticking to objective facts and quotations, so I am curious as to why you believe they have a "serious misunderstanding" of the issues. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Patrick Greenwell Telocity http://www.telocity.com (408) 863-6617 v (tinc) (408) 777-1451 f "This is our time.
