Sounds like chaos. If only there was some way of co-ordinating a
central root, managed by a trustworthy, established, stable main player.
A bit like an internationally organized, non-profit corporation that has
responsibility for Internet Protocol (IP) address space allocation,
protocol identifier assignment, generic (gTLD) and country code (ccTLD)
Top-Level Domain name system management, and root server system
management functions.
Has anyone considered this ?
