I strongly support this move by china.  t is about time that IANA
recognize the obvious - open up the root.  This is a good start.  China is
quick to learn the technological trap they have fallen into.  They need
ICANN as much as ICANN needs them.  It also shows a very interesting
simularity to what happened at the Public-Root.  There we had Turey as our
partner - like the chinese - not the best of human rights partners but
partners non the less brougt together through necessitty.

will they wake up to reality - what we will see is a compromise.  but they
chinese are ball breakers - and I think it's high time someone break some
balls at ICANN.  Go china go.

The PublicRoot structure is the ultimate choice framework which provides
for shared operability.
