[IFWP] ICANN teams with DOJ against Commerce and NSI - Rutt Better formAlernative Root

Given today's events, Jim Rutt better announce the formation of a Global Open Registry Association and solicit the 224 country code TLDs to join the Registry Association before the GAC makes them obsolete. The Registry Association better also form its own independent Root and invite the 224

Rod and all,   Well DOC/NTIA did make this mistake, but haven't got  the guts to admit it.  But it is well documented.  I also agree that this will be a very big deal and battle.  However given the choice between having the registry database in the hands of NSI vs ICANN I would at this juncture o

I think Jay's concern - and mine also, is this. There are currently 248 companies selling domains under top level domanis they manage that are currently in the legacy root servers. Then, on the other hand, we have maybe a few dozen companies that also want to manage a top level domain domain an
