All former DNSO GA members or other interested stakeholders/users,

  The following news item struck me as odd as well as almost
hilarious in a nearly ridiculous way, given the lack of adequate
security on this EM forum viruses, and spam as well as lack of
still far less than adequate security in terms of stakeholders/users
privacy and security in DNS Bind on Root servers.  The exception
was Paul Vixies upgrade of Bind in rel. 9.3 including plugging
some security holes.  Kudos' to Paul on that at least...
