  Unfortunately as has been documented in February and March, that the
DNSO GA list, this mailing list and you Harald, have been engaged
in fraudulent practices in which a large number of previous DNSO GA
members left on mass, as you know.  Hence leaving the DNSO is a
poor state of affairs.

  Again as you also know and have been repeatedly told and the IANA/ICANN
have also been shown specifically, that this is not the necessary scenario
which you are trying to paint.  Shared Root technology or SROOTS as
well as using multicasting and some minor changes to Bind 9 which my
amongst other organizations have made and tested and also reported
to this group allow for other Root structures to be a reality.  The
fact that ICANN would not necessarily be in control of these other
Root server structures is a matter of political policy from ICANN
and not necessarily, almost assuredly not the will of the majority
stakeholders.  But of course, you already know this, yet continue to
deny it publicly.

Again more dribble or FUD.  Not very productive Harald.

  Most that have not left only stick around to monitor ICANN's activities
more closely so as to insure ICANN doesn't continue to mislead those
that are not yet aware so as to keep them in check.  Unfortunately this
is or has become necessary to some degree due to ICANN's own
unpopular and questionable policy making without stakeholder
approval.
