I couldn't agree more, Edward. A centralized DNS is something we could have get rid of years ago, but ICANN pushed a centralized certification structure instead (bringing new problems to the field) and is pushing a new nightmare with BGPsec. Problems we face every day with half-baked standards pushed to universal acceptance by political, not technical, reasons (IPv6 anyone? :)) Thanks for your thoughts. BTW, I still believe that we must follow ISOC in this one (and am in no way an ISOC fan) Regards, Enrique
