Oopsie!

freudian slip I suppose ;) It's ga@dnso.Org not .Gov or .Mil right?

Subject: ICANN Director Says Multitple roots are a, "Good thing"...

Kristy,

I've put together a couple of links for you real quick, and will look
around if I have more time an gather more specifics regarding the
non-issues that Karl Auerbach associates with multiple instances of
colliding TLDs.

Karls stance on this centers around "viability" of these colliders,
meaning that the ones that share the greatest degree of acceptance are the
ones that the majority of the existing competing roots will provide
delegation to the particular TLD Servers for those respective TLDs.

That having been said, it is particularly noteworthy that:

1.) Many of the "pre-registration" centers utilizing the illegal lottery
based scheme encouratged by ICANN have admitted that they have not had the
success they were promised by ICANN due to the existance of the original,
authentic, and legitimate .BIZ operated by ARNI. Speculators simply are
not buying into a real estate market created by ICANN for no good reason
that, due to the collision created by ICANN will bear little fruit for
these speculators - especially when they can have a real .biz domain
simply by registering it instead of standing in line for a pretender that
can't guarantee they'll get anything :)

2.) almost all of the twelve major competing root systems in existance
(ICANN, although the Alternate, deprecated root system, being included in
that list) have decided NOT to provide resolution for the colliding
pretender which ICANN was hoping to make money on from the kickbacks they
recieve.

Of course, you will probably need to upgrade your DNS to that of The
PacificRoot if you want to be able to see the first link, since that is
Karls personal website and is under his own TLD (.EWE) which means that if
you can't see the whole "Inclusive Name Space" you obviously will not be
able to see this site operated by the ICANN director himself - simply
because the Alternate, deprecated ICANN legacy system is not Authoritative
for the entire Internet namee Space, while The PacificRoot is the
Authoritative root for, and completely "Inclusive" of,  the entire
Internet name space (Precisely what Karl talks about in the first link).

Be patient, as Karl's site is a little slow, perhaps he hosting it on a
DSL or dialup connection nowadays.

Enjoy :)
