[Joe Baptista <baptista@dot-god.com>]

The attached news release from newroot.com should be of interest to the
press and dns people.  My humble little city of peters patch gets an
honorable mention.  cheers to the people of peterborough who have made
this all possible.

Incidentally www.cyberbunker.com will be the new home of my web site
www.baptista.god.  So far i'm testing the servers - very nice.  feel free
to visit the facility located in the netherlands deep in a thermonuclear
bunker.  Best place to keep data these days.

The facility is monitored and your welcomed to take a tour.  Cameras
monitor all areas including the administrators communiy housing onsite.  I
hope someday they invite me for tea ;)

your all welcomed to take a tour

NewRoot is pleased to announce its support of the TapRoot Committee.
TapRoot is a critical infrastructure project of the Top Level Domain
Association which will maintain and publish Inclusive Name Space zone
maps.  The project is designed to co-ordinate the expansion of the domain
name system outside the U.S. government root system.

Joe Baptista one of the Internets first cartographers and the projects
director is excited with the projects potential to also address Internet
security issues.  "These resources provide significant benefits to the
Internet community", said Baptista "not only will we be the first to map
the Internet naming system but we'll also be in a position to fix various
security issues related to the DNS".  Baptista's past research was
instrumental in fixing numerous vulnerabilities in the U.S. military
domain name system.

The projects first goal will be to scan over 700,000 Internet domain name
servers for non U.S. government root systems.  "Once the root systems are
identified we will then proceed to scan those roots for top level domain
zones" said Baptista.

Seed data for the project has been provided by U.S. Department of
Commerce and Planet Communications and Computing Facility (PCCF) a not
for profit Internet research facility.  Volunteer software developers in
Peterborough Canada will telecommute to TapRoot facilities sponsored by
NewRoot at the secure facility 'CyberBunker' in the Netherlands.
