This is one of the major problems. Not ALL of the
"evidence" (as you call it) has been disclosed in
public. People keep making these sweeping
statements about the IANA authority, never answer
the simple questions about why the IANA has not
followed through on the IAHC/CORE promises,
and refuse to look at facts. In my opinion, those facts
will not ALL come out until we see what happens on
October 1, 1998.

The only fair thing to do at this point would be for
NSI to begin actively working with all of the RSCs
around the world, including the ORSC, to decide
which TLDs NSI wants to add to the legacy Root
Name Servers. In my opinion, it would be good for
NSI to have an open, public dialog with a human
representative from each of the following servers.

>1. A - Network Solutions, Inc. (A)
>2. B - University of Southern California (ISI2)
>3. C - Performance Systems International Inc. (C-NYSER)
>4. D - University of Maryland (UMD-TERP)
>5. E - NASA Ames Research Center (NS-NASA)
>6. F - Internet Software Consortium (ISC)
>7. G - DOD Network Information Center (DIIS-NS)
>8. H - Army Research Laboratory (B)
>9. I - [No name] (NORDU) (Sweden)
>10. J - Network Solutions, Inc. (J)
>11. K - European Regional Internet Registry/RIPE NCC (K)
>12. L - University of Southern California (L)
>13. M - WIDE Project (M) (JAPAN)
>

It seems odd that people from the Asia Pacific
region are not providing input via WIDE. Likewise,
one would assume that the "K" operators would
provide RIPE views. Lastly, it should be noted
that the B and L servers are registered to USC
and not the IANA.
