The technical issue would be susceptibility of All database to tampering by any authorities who hold legal supremacy/jurisdiction over whichever person(s) or organizations are responsible for specific TLDs, or even the actual org responsible for that registry, for any reason, against the wishes of the domain holder. Even if the domain holder exists outside that jurisdiction or can legally operate under different rules. While this can be a serious technical issue; I don't believe there is anything network operators can do about it. You could consider distributed alternatives such as IPNS of the IPFS protocol a cryptographic-based name system, Tor hidden services, etc. Your best option might be to register your own domains under multiple ccTLDs while ensuring that there is no overlap amongst the registry operators or registrars between any of the chosen TLDs and domains. > Andy Ringsmuth -- -JA _______________________________________________ NANOG mailing list https://lists.nanog.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/LZL2ZERUH5FDFUM2ML7R53QRIM46Y3UZ/
