Commentary by Karl Auerbach..."There are technical limits to the size of the DNS root zone - there simply isn't enough room to give
a name to everyone.  An allocation mechanism is necessary.  And perhaps there also needs to be a garbage collection mechanism as
well to reap dead allocations."

Karl,

With all due respect, can you describe in detail how you have arrived at this conclusion ?

If I were answering the same question, from an IPv16 and IPv8 point of view, I would note that the architecture, software, systems
and business structure is tied to two key binary values, 32768 and 2048. We have "slots", as you call them, for 32,768 non-premium
TLDs and 2,048 Premium TLDs.

We draw from the Proof-of-Concept market tests that your company (ICANN) and others are helping to fund via the aging, toy, research
and development, educational, IPv4 Internet. The approach developed many years ago was to use the IPv4 Internet as a sand-box, where
experiments can be run with little or no risk to see what TLDs prosper and which crash and burn. It is also a place to guage where
the interest is in the marketplace. Software can track the experiments and then automagically do the allocation and garbage
collection as TLDs ebb and flow at a very slow pace. People that will be using the new software will not have to do anything, it
finds and caches the 2,048 Premium TLDs and the 32,768 TLDs that form the rest of the Dictionary.

Along with those TLD selections go Address Space Management rights. One simple way to look at that is that the 2,048 Premium TLD
Managers also become equivalent to what the 32-bit Internet I* society calls RIRs. They have 4 RIRs and some special,
seldom-mentioned, insiders. [ http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space ] A consistent cash flow goes to those insiders who
then provide the endorsement base for the rest of the I* society Multi-Level-Marketing (MLM) empire. With IPv8 and IPv16, there can
be thousands or tens of thousands, as opposed to a small group of insiders. It should be clear that the I* society insiders do not
want to change their system, because it funds there unlimited vacations all year, and other Internet activities.
===========================================================

There can be thousands of InterNAT Address Space Managers, who make money while they sleep, leasing cyberspace to people. All they
have to do, is operate a TLD and provide both 32-bit DNS support and 128-bit DNS support. The Best-of-Breed TLDs will survive in the
free marketplace, stay tuned as .COM and .NET illustrate how this evolves. You will be invited to Re-Register the domain name
CaveBear.COM in the new systems, it will be your choice whether you want to preserve your name on the InterNAT.
