[IFWP] RE: who tells the quill holder what to write?

[Jon Zittrain]

Tony,

When you say,

"3) some independent corporation to run a set of DNS servers and maintain a 
root zone file that also allows new TLDs to be entered,"

in your view, what entity would instruct the independent corporation about 
what TLDs to enter, and to whom they should point?  To be sure, point 3 
(and 1 and 2) may be simple, but 3 is easy precisely because it's cast as a 
ministerial task.  The "hard" part seems to me to be left open: figuring 
out who instructs the TLD quill holder what to write.  Unless you want to 
go for multiple roots--as many on this list do, but your own msg seems to 
exclude--I don't see how you account for this.

Best,
Jonathan
