Hopefully there is enough RSC's out there that can take the load.
The structure of most of the worlds economics actually rely on the
internet in one way or another; and incidentally ICANN's structure.
(have to use them to get the dot coms)
If ICANN's structure where to completely fail, I mean 100% failure,
what is the real impact. I don't think really anyone could
understand that, and on top of which, since they are not allowing
completely AXFR's from their servers, (that i know, haven't check it
lately) when.. i mean IF they fall, how long before the caches actually clear?
Was 7 really enough. Guess closing doors MIGHT have been a bad idea huh?
David,
we are an increasing number of people who think (we ran a two years
community testing over the point) that the real only internet need is
not two (or more) uncoordinated registries per TLD and the end of the
ICANN solitude as a root admin (a part from an architectural
replacement). The 14th root server case, operating for several months
without being noticed while replicating the ICANN machine, shows that
the security/stability ICANN fairy tale story only makes the world
more vulnerable, with a single point of easy confusion.
The Root Server System is only a lucrative service (there must be a
poistive return somewhere for them to continue) which made a good PR
(collective brain washing ?) operation and uses ICANN as a
smokescreen for it. ICANN's complexity/complications is just to keep
the focus far from a single simple question: what do we really need
the root server system for ?
