are you sharing insider knowledge from your time as IANA GM here? i thought that ICANN and VeriSign were both under enforceable contracts with respect to their role as root name server operators. but i've not been an insider and i'm only guessing. inside baseball warning. the agreement signed between ISC and ICANN on january 23 2008 is not "enforceable" in that it does not specify any recourse for either party due to any nonperformance by the other party. see http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-23jan08.htm for details. paul _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
