I believe the system described in the cited paper does exactly the
reverse of what's being discussed here. CHORD and its relatives
provide an alternative way of serving the data, but the hierarchical
structure of domain names remains the same. If I understand the
intent of this thread, the desire is to create a P2P naming system,
similar to a web of trust, that does not require a hierarchical
naming system and the administrative machinery needed to maintain
that naming system. That is, I thought the thrust of this thread is
how to create an alternative to the IANA, not how to how to create an
alternative to the root servers.

DNS substitute based on CHORD, but it is interesting reading for
others.

a peer 2 peer replacement for DNS tops my internet wish list;
Is it a formal call to a new WG? Please provide a candidate
charter :-)
I'd subscribe immediately :-)
is there an interest? I don't have much experience of IETF, much
less in
taking care of a wg. but if more people would want to work on such a
thing, I could look into how to start up such an endeavor.
(although I doubt it would grow into a "substitute" in the end;
rather a
complement)
