Subject: DNS Transistion
Transferring partial authority of the DNS infrastructure to
other
countries (outside the U.S.) could potentially introduce problems
of
censorship in countries (such as China) where free speech is
not allowed
(or is restricted), and these countries could (and most likely
will)
abuse their power/responsibility for political or other gains.
My
personal opinion is that the U.S. should maintain control of
the DNS
root servers, as it was the U.S. who essentially 'invented'
theInternet.
Share, yes. Give over control, no.
Respectfully,
- Stephan Dzur |
