affect on net users/consumers
 
since alternative root nnot subject to ICANN may have different and possibly
less adequate Whois and UDRP mechanisms than required by ICANN.

Danny, thanks for your first pass at succinctly defining the issue. In reply
to the original request, we now have the following. Would you (or NC members
like to fill in the missing sections?)
Philip.
  
a) background with names of the organisations concerned.
Awaited.
  
b) an analysis of the issue arising as they may effect 
i) net users/consumers 
" allowing multiple public DNS roots would raise a very strong possibility
that users of different ISPs who click on the same link on a web page could
end up at different destinations, against the will of the web page
designers."  
  
ii) registries/ root owners.
Awaited.
