Hi David,

As Chris Ambler notes, you minimally need to go to 
the citations and read the material.

The "go elsewhere" comment I expect was a metaphor.
There are now 57 registrars plus CORE's 61 more
feeding into the COM, ORG, and NET registry.
It's great to see NSI's plan for a competitive 
registry-registrar arrangement so successful.

The DNS is a distributed database system, and the
COM, ORG, and NET zones are a big, stable, part
of the system.  Those zone files can stay exactly
where they are.  Anyone interested in reaching
them, will find a way to get there. ;-)

To use Sienfeldese, that's a big Matzoh Ball
hanging out there.  I don't think ICANN, DOC,
or anyone else will fracture it.
