Joe,
what they do not understand is that Govs will not - do not accept the USG 
root. They do not accept its 18 years old non mirrored, non backed-up, non 
lived-tested system architecture, disseminating from an unique military, 
hackers and terrorist targeted non mirrored, non backed-up non live-tested 
computer system what is a small 262 2-to-4 letters strings and 749 numbers 
14.5 K when zipped file, controlled by a single government able to decide 
about any e-embargo against any of them or their allies out of any UN 
decision, obtaining an exclusive information on their live and economy 
through its logger, and making it so complex, for the TLDs it does not 
list, that it de facto impeaches any DNS related social and economical 
development without its agrement. With only 7 poor TLDs added in ... 18 years.

They do not understand that Govs will make the DN a stable, life long, and 
free as the alphanumeric pointers to the online belongings of the 
registrants they are. We will have told them. jfc
