I am quite pleased with most of the results and stipulations from the White Paper myself, as you pointed out in brief here. Nicely done as well Adam. I am sure that APNIC and many regional ISP's will have mixed feelings, but that is to be expected. Though there are some areas that we are still concerned about with respect to the "Board members seats" they are not all that serious. Most importantly the IANA (Current version), will not have a strangle hold one the DNS system but will have an advisory capacity, which is appreciate under the circumstances. In addition as you pointed out, many of the things that we worked so hard for behind the scenes and before the GP even came out were embodied as well. Looks like allot of your and my detractors now have egg on their face! >;) LOL! Let me also gloat a bit as well! To the DAVE CROCKERS, PATRICK GREENWELLS, CRAIG SIMONS, KENT CRISPINS, ect of the DNS debates, HA HA HA, you lost, and badly I might add!!!! Ok so much for the gloating. In an earlier post, I indicated that we will be posting to the NTIA and the pertinent E-Mail list an official response in detail on all aspects of the White Paper. We will be making suggestions as to how,who and under what method "Board Members" are or should be selected, which was not spelled out very well in the WHite Paper, and a very important area for the future of the DNS and IP address allocation systems. But at least Jon Postal or Don Heath will not be getting the top seat! > > > Date: Fri, 5 Jun 1998 18:58:34 -0800 > From: Ellen Rony <erony§MARIN.K12.CA.US> > Subject: Early media response to White Paper > > Domain white paper comes up short (C/Net - June 5, 1998) - > http://www.news.com/News/Item/0,4,22869,00.html > > Domain.Name: White House backs off (ZDNet - June 5, 1998) - > http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/special/domain.html > > Proposed federal rules leave many issues unresolved (MSNBC - June 5, 1998) - > http://www.msnbc.com/news/170728.asp > > Fed domain plan defers decisions (C/Net - June 5, 1998) - > http://www.news.com/News/Item/0,4,22854,00.html > > Magaziner: Domain consensus possible (C/Net - June 5, 1998 - > http://www.news.com/News/Item/0,4,22879,00.html > > Links to these selected news articles have been set up at > domainhandbook.com/news.html > > Enjoy people.
