They distribute what the ICANN/NTIA/Verisign gestalt publishes.Especially since the root zone actually lives in 14 different places.It lives in _far_ more places than that.No, anything that requires the root zone to be fluid[1] is going tocause evenmore fundamental engineering problems than I've been positing so fartonight. http://www.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtlds/summary-of-impact-root-zone-scaling-06oct10-en.pdf Folks of varying levels of technical, business, and political expertise have been working on the expansion of the root zone for more than a decade. I might suggest that instead of assuming people haven't thought of the issues you are raising, you might want to take the opposite approach and ask for pointers for the analyses.[1]requiring updates in anything smaller than days. How often doestheroot zone actually change; anyone got a pointer to stats on that?The root zone is updated two times a day. Relevant folks have stated this will not be changing. Regards, -drc
