possibly be ignored? Time for people to rear up on their hind legs and say
what they think.
I'm not sure about hind legs, but....
Maybe because I watched the InterNIC emerge as a transition
from the old known and loved NNSC and DISA NIC, along with
dozens of other transitions over the past 8 years, that I
view this as just another point of inflection in the transition
continuum. The InterNIC today is about as relevant as the
NSFNet backbone. They both hail from the same era.
Over the coming months, there will be more NSI-like
registrars, as well as new TLD registries. Their sites will look
like search engine and other effective provider sites everywhere -
using every available means to attract and retain customers.
A year from now, this will be a fuzzy initial edge of a much
broader transition we will only vaguely recollect.
I guess Stef pretty much expressed my views.
