Basically, it will take some of the exclusiveness out of the TLD concept. That is a good thing for peace and quiet on several mailing lists and on the Internet name debate in general. I hope it would shut the nutcases arguing about new TLDs up, because they have been given what they so hotly desire (why escapes me, but I suppose they believe they'll make a big bag of money selling domain names. Good luck.) Technically, it is no problem to keep 500 delegations in sync -- even with higher demands on correctness than are made today, both for the root and most TLDs. However, there can only be one root. That is not up for discussion. (in case somebody thought I think so.) - -- Måns Nilsson http://vvv.besserwisser.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (OpenBSD) iD8DBQE9654E02/pMZDM1cURArisAKCna8uTBH2ueV52O+FaYti9RS9JxACgniNh SCNhNLgmFRP7ViXav1KZxvI= =cZdX -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
