No wonder that some people try a Public-Root that is independent but compatible to ICANNs root. They do it since about 1995. They never stopped. The name changed. The players mostly did not. With every new version of this Public-Root compared to the Monopoly-Root, the number of players gets more. The number of customers gets more.
Aww, thats cute.While I'm sure you've read RFC 2826 and disagree completely with it, what happens if some other schmoe starts public-root2 and duplicates some of your TLD. Then you have different users resolving the same hosts ending up at different destinations.
There has to be 1 globally unique root. ICANN is currently it. Sorry. sam
