Hank,
We tell them to use the ORSC root as it is the most comprehensive one out
there. Once the collisions from New.net have been ironed out, the
non-colliding new TLDs will be put in the ORSC root if they are not already
there.
FYI, there's an IETF draft on the guidelines for avoiding multiple-root
collisions here:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-higgs-root-defs-00.txt
Feedback welcome.
