Subject: external issues in dns scalability (1995) (was Re: Namespaces) All I can really say is: "I told y'all so." Vadim, thanks for reminding me that there was a time when these problems were still soluble.
Wow. Re-reading that paper now is like deja vu all over again! Seems like it was many decades ago.... I think, IIRC, I agreed with many points you made back then (and especially the controversial ones like, avoidance of government (except maybe the UN), closing .COM et al, the support of ISO country code domains, etc.), and I'm almost certain that I fully agree with all of them now. Even though we sort of have shared-registry types of things happening now I'm not so sure it would hurt to go back to one registry per gTLD. The problem is that it all hinges on closing down .COM, et al.... -- Greg A.
