RE: [ga] ICANN - CCTLD Fight Growing
It's not the DNS that's the problem. It is where and how they define active
directory objects, related to the DNS name. If it was just DNS, I wouldn't
be worried. It is how they implement their forests of domain controllers.

:-)
as far as I can tell, Win2K DNS works fine in a corporate environment
isolated from the outside world. The rest remains to be seen.
btw, migration works fine as long as you do it only at the edges; it's the
core (name servers, auth servers and so on) that can trip you up badly.

Sure there is. The compromise will have to involve the ccTLDs paying ICANN
some money, and ICANN promising some services to the ccTLDs.
The amounts are negotiable; the verbiage surrounding it unpredictable.

I won't argue this point, for good reason :-)
