Hi Paul,

What happens when the US government comes-a-knocking, desiring to
manipulate data while claiming some sort of purview under the gestapo
legislation known as the PATRIOT Act (or <insert legislation name
here>)? The hooks provided by the ISC and used by the domain operator
will facilitate the DNS subversion nicely. Put another way, the ISC
proposal has just made it easier for US government abuses, and abuses
which can effect not only US citizens, but citizens of other
countries.

Perhaps the ISC should also divest DNS interests from the US so that
more dns operators, immune from US control, are available to the
community.

Jeff
