Re: Re[2]: [ga-roots] Re[4]: [ga-icann] interesting California law to consider

["L Gallegos" <jandl@jandl.com>]

It is my understanding, at least at The PacificRoot, that when you 
contact them for inclusion in the root, you must agree to conditions 
for technical stability, etc.  I don't think the requirements are 
posted on their website, but I do know that you can't just email the 
request and have them loaded.  At the very least the nameservers 
must answer auth.  To be homed in the root, you have to sign an 
agreement for stability and service.  You can't just hit and run.

Beyond this, I have no further information and since I do not 
operate a root, I cannot speak from a position of authority.
