This is not a political question, only operational process. Has ICANN and NTIA worked out their operational issues so they can quickly change the root zone to reflect changes in ccTLD nameservers if people need to change which name servers are handling the ccTLDs. Last year, some of the ccTLD operators were complaining it sometimes took weeks after they submitted the change for it to make it into the root zone.
I tried this game fall 2000. It was a farce. We (I then worked at NIC-SE, the SE registry) tried to remove "sparky.arl.mil" from the SE delegation. After all the politcs in Sweden wrt this move had been sorted out, we e-mailed the correct (as announced on webpage) contact at IANA/ICANN. Weeks went by. Nothing happened. We grew tired of this and started pulling some threads. ONLY after informal prodding (by well-known people that then had no formal role in SE operations) the root zone was updated! And, we NEVER got any acknowledgement back, we simply noticed that the delegation had been adjusted. We were not impressed. I thought along the same lines as Sean, poor ccTLDs if this (root admin unresponsiveness) is a continuing state of affairs... -- Måns Nilsson Systems Specialist +46 70 681 7204 KTHNOC MN1334-RIPE We're sysadmins. To us, data is a protocol-overhead.
