RE: [wg-c] FW: ADNS Press Release

["Josh Elliott" <jelliott@tucows.com>]

I don't think showing that .01% of root traffic resides in alternate root
should lead to the conclusion that customers are flocking over there.  I
don't think anyone has yet proven to show that a multiroot system is 1) a
technically viable alternative to the current system and 2) necessary to
resolve the customer demand for alternative TLDs.  Are we not trying to
figure out how to accomodate this demand through the introduction of new
gTLDs in the current root system?
