Re: Turkey has switched Root-Servers

.com is an abomination, as are the other gTLDs to a lesser
extent. .gov,

.mil, .edu, .info, and .biz need to be shifted under .us
immediately, and

everyone under .com, .net, and .org needs to be gradually moved
under the

appropriate part of the real DNS tree. I can live with .int
continuing on,

but only because no better solution immediately comes to mind.





Actually, I think you've got it backwards. .us and all of the other
country-specific TLDs are the last vestiges of nationalism. The
Internet is only the second piece of truly global infrastructure. As
a key component in the ongoing trend towards a unified global
administration, we should do what we can to encourage cooperation and
equality across borders, not intensify their differences.
