Can anyone on this list give a reasonabley detailed summary
of current DNS governance in the following areas?

1. the current so-called legacy ROOT
2. .AU and its subdomains
3. the alternative domain spaces

It would be a great help for me (and maybe some others - UI
hope I'm not alone in asking this) in understanding some
of the key issues the DNS is facing.

The summary should mention:

(a) authority for registration and administration
(b) any hierarchy/chain of command involved
(c) technical requirements for the domains
(d) administration requirements for the domains

Thanks in advance,
