Re: Authority , (was Re: [ga] [INS TLD KFC] PUBLICROOT REPRESENTATIVE NOTICE)

[Joe Baptista <baptista@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Joop:

The authority for the Inclusive Name Space lies with the TLDA - 
www.tlda.org - that is the organization that the former alternative 
roots designated as the rightful "authority" to the INS.  The TLDA was 
in fact first organized right here on the GA.
