This is a good start. China is quick to learn the technological trap they have fallen into. They need ICANN as much as ICANN needs them. It also shows a very interesting simularity to what happened at the Public-Root. There we had Turey as our partner - like the chinese - not the best of human rights partners but partners non the less brougt together through necessitty. > And the real world is catching up.

But a choice which has to be made. The PublicRoot structure is the ultimate choice framework which provides for shared operability. regards joe _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
