Here's the final result out of CNet with most of the sharp edges chipped off: http://news.com.com/2010-1071-963205.html?tag=lh Perspective: Waiting for the Net meltdown By Bob Alberti <mailto:letters () news com> October 24, 2002, 12:00 PM PT Tuesday's attack on the Internet's root servers should serve as a warning: Something is seriously wrong with the organization that supposedly governs the Internet and is responsible for the maintenance of the root servers. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) a moribund bureaucracy centered on a culture of exclusivity and control, as was its predecessor, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). It has no legitimate charter for its authority, except that of cultural momentum. With its roots reaching back to the beginning, it is in control, period.
