Root [Was: RE: [ga] DNSO ICANN board member]

["Roberto Gaetano" <roberto.gaetano@voila.fr>]

Roeland,

This is how I understood Harald's message.
WHen he sais "domain" he means "TLD".
If ICANN delegates a TLD that is already included in an alt.root, would 
the root operator switch within 24H to be consistent with the a.root.

Which is still something, but I maintain that it does not solve the 
problem of different alt.roots pointing to different TLD root servers 
for the same TLD.

Roberto
