[ga] you did well

[Jefsey Morfin <jefsey@wanadoo.fr>]

Dear Stuart,
you published a strange document one "alternate roots". Then you removed 
your name from it and you did well. This issue is religious. So you better 
not to embark in it lightly. The most stable and reliable people on other 
issues become childish when refereeing to roots. They just "become roots" 
about it.

The work you present is impressive so it cannot be read nor commented in 
five minutes or 10 lines. But I feel I read "serious" Irish study books, 
from IRA about Loyalists, from Protestants about Catholics, from English on 
the Republic.

I take you are a clever person: I am sure you realized yourself your method 
does not stand. You start from your concepts, use "your" own wrong words, 
miss most of the reality, confuse many issues and loop back into your 
concepts after having decided you won against a cause no one defend. I do 
not know if your conclusion is right or wrong, but it is not made.

The issue is obviously of importance. So I will suggest you a protocol:

1) do not consider what cons and pros are claimed: most of them are 
emotional by people not even understanding their cause.

2) consider the name space. What it is, who is sharing it, how is it 
regulated by languages, usages, semantic, geography, history, poetry, 
music, literature,  laws, etc... Try to figure out where the DNS space fits 
and what might be its rules and possibilities. Take example on TM, 
copyright, private names, etc... This is one of the most intrinsic issue of 
the human being (words, and word logic). One kills for that.

3) make you explained what the DNS is, what is its role, what has been 
expected from the DNS in the past what could it do in the future. 
Understand what authoritative and unique mean (dont ask IEFT, ask yourself 
once you have well understood). Remember the history*y of sciences. The DNS 
is hierachical as the World is flat. The World has not changed and it is 
not flat anymore. The DNS will still be hierarchical and the root unique 
with thousands of RSCs (Root Service Centers). BTW read RFC 920 carefully.

4) consider the best interests of the Internet Users starting with their 
rights (the e-environment related article of the Human Rights is still to 
word out, but we know to exist and be protected, to speak and broadcast, to 
listen what we want, to associate, own and develop) and more its 
possibilities written in the code. I can document you several DNS+ services 
I never heard anywhere that are built-in the DNS concept. You are not 
considering petty disputes from the past, but the Internet future....

5) consider the real world, what is the net who is actually deciding, what 
you can what you cannot do. What will be the impact of a given policy or 
not.... What are the strength and the weakness of each possibilities. The 
feasibility of each position: legal, political, financial, commercial. Ask 
the technical implications. Do not only consult the guy next door, but the 
real actors. Look at the legal obligations of the iCANN by the White Paper, 
the MoU, the Articles and ByLaws. Look at what is been done, right and  wrong.

6) then try to explain:
- if the issue is so important why the iCANN which is the custodian of the 
root has given this responsibility to an open position, the SSRAC pages are 
not updated and the CRADA has never been documented....
- What also made you to issue a document today against all the rules (the 
DNSO has not been consulted: you tried to dictate it a position while it is 
his role to document a position for the BoD to decide. What was so 
important and urgent for you to compete with the DNSO, as if you distrusted 
it).
- in the ".biz" case what was the proof of concept intended?

7) then be honest with yourself.

I am interested by the result.

Jefsey
