Re: [ga] Names Policy Development Process

My feeling is that a Root Zone Protocol as a top layer of a DNS resolution
model might be also functional. The idea would be that if there was a Root
Zone specified in the URI/URL then it would be used otherwise the default
set would be (i.e. the ICANN set).

The real win as I have said would be properly outfitted search engines since
these are really the next generation resolution services anyway.
