Hi, all.

I guess that, in light of the White Paper, the following sentence of the
Statement of Principles is no longer controversial:

> STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES CONCERNING GENERIC TOP LEVEL DOMAINS
>
        ......
>
> II. IANA currently has control over all TLDs in the global DNS,
> ........
>
The White Paper states:

<begin quote>

REVISED POLICY STATEMENT

Principles for a New System

Purpose
The new corporation should ultimately have the authority to manage and
perform a specific set of functions related to coordination of the domain
name system, including the authority to:

2) oversee operation of the authoritative Internet root server system
3) oversee policy for determining the circumstances under which new TLDs are
added to the root system;

<end quote>

This statement should close the discussion on these lists on this subject:
it looks that the US Government and the "Statement of Principles" agree, at
least on this point.

Regards
Roberto
