heaven help us.
The alternative to a private-sector ICANN is the ITU, not a new UN body.

this is just plain silly. What does one do when those sources conflict?
as new.net has demonstrated, they WILL conflict, unless one has a governing
body that ensures they don't. And if so - what is the improvement?
btw, it is rather obvious that you have not seen the configuration files of
BIND; it does not work the way you think it does.
