Perhaps you could be more explicit? The UDRP(http://www.icann.org/udrp/udrp-policy-24oct99.htm). > The issue raised here is that NSI is operationally incompetent.

There is no "wresting" to be done. ISPs have a choice where they point their servers, period. That they do not avail themselves of this capability serves to illustrate that it is not important enough to ISPs as an industry. > I conclude that, if the major ISPs desire a change, they will need to > work together to move the DNS registry service outside of the US, and > be willing to defy unreasonable and irrational US court orders. See above. > How do you propose to make it work? There have been several proofs-of-concepts(alternic, eDNS, etc.) that demonstrate the technical feasbility of such a change. Unfortunately, these previous attempts have been conducted by (mostly)well-intentioned technical folks who lacked the business and/or political acumen necessary to be successful. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Patrick Greenwell Earth is a single point of failure. \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
