color=#000000 size=2> Yes! When ICANN achieves its
independence from the US Government under which it has operated all these
years, it also <U>becomes just another root system</U>that gets its support
only from those who like them, a fast dwindling group! To be sure, most every
root system carries, and will continue to carry, traditionally "ICANN" TLDs,
but there will be no compelling reason to use ICANN's servers with their
often-maligned technical abilities to operate within those TLDs. Instead, there
will be more perceived freedom to choose from other root systems that
provide a much wider and "Inclusive Name Space". </FONT></div>
<div><FONT style="COLOR: #000000; FONT-FAMILY: " face=Verdana color=#000000
size=2> The TLDA (<A class="" title="Top-Level Domain
Association, Inc." href="http://www.tldinc.org/"; target=_blank
mce_href="http://www.tldinc.org";>Top-Level Domain Association, Inc</A>.) has
assembled many experts in these matters and will soon publish a thoroughly
researched "TapRoot", a list of all active TLDs in the world with a recommended
subset for which a combination of "First Come, First Served" policy and
proper technical stability will be used to determine the widest possible
definition of the "Inclusive Name Space" that is stable and sound. No longer
will independent roots have to do all the research themselves to include all
the best of the internet, the TLDA will regularly publish the ever evolving
"TapRoot" to use as a starting point. There will be no requirement that all the
listed TLDs be included in each root system, but it will no longer be difficult
to know which ones pass a defined set of standards, thus earning a place in the
TLDA's recommended list. </FONT></div>
<div><FONT style="COLOR: #000000; FONT-FAMILY: " face=Verdana color=#000000
size=2> Perhaps we will not have to endure another
travesty such as the virtual theft of an operational and successful TLD like
.BIZ simply because someone paid lots of money to ICANN. When there is a basic
protection of ones investments in operating TLDs, more will be put into them
and the entire internet community will benefit, not just
ICANN. </FONT></div>
<div><FONT style="COLOR: #000000; FONT-FAMILY: " face=Verdana color=#000000
size=2> It's time to get ready for a new and inclusive
internet. There have always been alternatives to ICANN's root, but now they
will be empowered to represent more and better TLDs without re-creating the
wheel to establish a workable list. Now they will not suffer from the image
that ICANN is the "real" root of the US government, but understand it for what
it is, just another alliterative from which the internet community can
choose.</FONT></div>

ga@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx<BR><BR><BR>Dear George,<BR>I agree with you when you use the
strong word of "outrage". However, <BR>are we not accustomed to this kind of
behaviour? The real question <BR>now, is to decide if we still care about them
or not, meaning if we <BR>adopt the position that they will not survive August
31, 2009 as an <BR>Internet market monopoly. If we do that, our priority is to
prepare <BR>for 01/09/09.<BR>jfc</DIV></FONT>
