<P>Dr. Joe and all,</P>
<P> </P>
<P> China, and therfore "I" root server marches to its own drum
beat. The IANA and ICANN should</P>
<P>have and at least now should recognize that clearly. Seems that the
IANA's and ICANN forsight</P>
<P>was far afield and seemingly remains less than adaquate accordingly.</P>
<P> </P>
<P> Indeed the method used to do the Root server distribution of "Legacy
Roots" of which "I" is</P>
<P>one, was horribly concieved and even more horribly implimented as many of us
including</P>
<P>yourself Dr. Joe early on predicted. Such has come to pass.
Indeed also and still, it appears</P>
<P>that a multipul shared root structure would have been better in that at
least routing around</P>
<P>potential damage or outages of or for various reasons, political or
otherwise, would have had</P>
<P>a far less negitive impact. Alas, ICANN's along with the IANA's
leadership as predicted</P>
<P>fumbled the ball, and as a result political considerations from within
Beijing have lead to</P>
<P>the present poor situation accordingly. <BR><BR><BR></P>

<DIV>As you recall back in 2002, ICANN at the IANA's recommendation decided
that
<P>distributing the Root servers was a good idea for a number of valid
reasons.</P>
<P>I agreed as did others. </P></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV>And it is a good idea. It's the method they used to deploy the idea which
is bad and vulnerable to attack. If you take critical infrastructure seriously
- you nationalist the root on a country by country basis.<BR><BR>Or you
establish new root server providers. Many many roots. That was also proposed.
That would of broken the monopoly. Many supported it but did not
happen.<BR> </DIV>

<P>It seems though that in this particular case with "I"</P>
<P>root server that consistancy and integrety of same was degraded
accordingly.</P></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>

<P>As such, the impression that reliability of the "Legacy Roots" has been</P>
