I have three questions about:

1. As the operator of F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET, which is also at PAIX, I'm
curious to know whether your reselection of the letter "F" in your host's
name indicates a relationship between your "F" and my "F"?
2. In the past, changes in the COM delegation have been made via IANA.
Since IANA was not involved in this announcement, should I interpret this
as a unilateral move on NSI's part?
3. Does NSI still think of COM, NET, and ORG as its intellectual property?
And is this belief bolstered in some way by the ICANN announcements?
