Esther, Mike, Joe,
Is there any particular ICANN view on efforts to set up alternative root
systems? I'd figured that ICANN would be neutral on it--it's got a mandate
to (eventually, if all proceeds a particular way) maintain and manage the
contents of the legacy IANA root, without regard to whatever other systems
may be in development. Others worry that ICANN would view alternative
roots as hostile challenges to its authority.
If there's no ICANN policy on it, do you have views on it in your
respective capacities? Thanks! ...Jonathan
