1. Your mail distribution list is interesting, especially
with the people who "censor" discussions. I assume it is
ICANN's intent to filter and censor the net via TLD control.
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/ietf/Current/msg11224.html

2. It is interesting that you recognize that the IPv4 Internet
is an "experimental" network. It was largely funded via
government research, and often lacks basic business common
sense. This has been known for years and the IPv8 Internet is
designed to select the "best of breed" from the IPv4 "toy"
Internet, where proof-of-concept experiments can be done.

3. IPv8 uses a "Floating Root", which is completely derived
by software. No self-serving humans, in a central agency,
need to be paid $250,000 per year, to control the content of
the "root". The "best of breed" from the IPv4 Internet quickly
make it to the IPv8 radar screens and commercial strength is
tracked, and consumers enjoy stability via free-market forces,
not government-backed beuracracies.

4. There are 2,048 slots in the IPv8 Floating Root. Those should
eventually fill as the world routes around ICANN. As with the
IAHC, it looks doubtful that the ICANN regime will ever get
any TLD servers in operation. If it does, they might make it
on the IPv8 radar screens, and will be tracked like all the
other TLD servers. The collective whole of all TLD Clusters
form the Floating Root. Any ISP can easily run the software
to find the operational TLD Clusters and, once found, the
TLD Clusters maintain their own coherence, because they can
be queried independent of a "root" to find the members of the
TLD Cluster. Root servers are often the last to know about
changes in the TLD Clusters. Why would anyone rely on an
outdated "root" ? (legacy or otherwise)

5. As you continue to play on the IPv4 Internet, keep in
mind that most of the world could care less about your .ORG
activities. They are busy raising their .FAMILY, with their
.KIDS and running their businesses (.INC, .LTD). Fortunately,
many good people from around the world are now stepping
forward to route around the IAHC and ICANN .GAME. For more
information on how some of them are doing that, see:
