"Reporting to God"

["Suresh Ramasubramanian" <ops.lists () gmail com>]

This is from the ITU newslog ..

> The Economist once said: "if the Net does have a God, he is probably Jon Postel."
> David Maher, Senior Vice President, Law and Policy at PIR has published his
> memoirs of the early day attempts to revamp the internet's domain name system,
> which he has entitled Reporting to God. Ten years later, it appears that decisions
> surrounding the DNS remain as equally controversial as in the mid-1990's.
