Dear Vlad, dear PSO PC colleagues, I have a couple of comments to make to your message: - firstly it should be sent to Stuart Lynn and not only Louis Touton. - I suggest a unified text with the final statement from PSO rather than 2 statements, one from ITU SG2 and another one from the rest. I make here a proposal for the unified text based on the 2 paragraphs: "The Internet DNS currently operates using a Single Authoritative Root Server System. Although, it would be technically possible to devise and standardize a fully compliant alternative multiple root server system, there appears to be no technical reason for changing from the present working system, as this would require the development of a new set of protocols for use by the DNS. Additional issues such as administrative and national sovereignty considerations reinforce the benefits to keep the present Single Authoritative Root Server System. As a conclusion, the PSO PC supports the content of RFC 2826. " What do your think?.
