Hello:
It has been a little bit quit, recently :-). I am just curious, if
there is someone with a better picture of IANA:
- it is said, that IANA is just an Uncle Sam's contract to the
ISI-USC.
- according to IANA's IAHC's gTLD-MoU <http://www.gtld-mou.org>,
IANA is in charge in maintaining the root, assuming that there
exists only one holy root. Therefore, Klingon's and Ferengi's
root are excluded, not mention other stargate/ galaxi's root
and the eDNS.
- according to RFC1601 <ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc1601.txt>,
somehow, IETF's IAB is in charge to look after IANA, whereas
the holy ISOC is on the top of everything.
Question:
- is this the complete story ?
- why does the Internet DNS Names Review Board (IDNB) -- a
committee that supposed to be established by the IANA -- not
exist ?

technical innovation will not be surprised if cyberspace is
eventually subsumed under the umbrella of established
infrastructure providers" [...] "Lost of novelty, at least as
understood by the research and engineering community that gave
rise to [the I* community], is a serious blow to [their] culture".
