Re: Useful Comments Re: DNSO process and Drafts submitted to ICANN

[Einar Stefferud <Stef@nma.com>]

All of them!  (see Eberhard's question below;-)...

I also agree that the initial members of the startup DNSO should be
the Zone Administrators and not the Technical Contacts!

And, for Michael's information, the fact that he has contractred with
an ISP to do everythig for his DNS Zone, and not let him have password
control of it is his decision and not a feature of the DNS!

In my own case, I cvontrol all aspects of the content of my NMA.COM
zone, and have arranged for its primary to be at ICS.UCI.EDU And
secondaries at ARL.ARMY.MIL, FV.COM, and have arrranged to add VRX.COM
some time in the near future, as FV.COM might go away some time soon.

All these things are my choices, though I have to negotiate
arrangements with all the primary and secondary server providers.
And, yes, I could primary or secondary on my own system.

Further, my primary and scondaries do not make any changes that I do
not approve.

Also, I am listed as the Admin, and Tech and billing contacts for my
zone.

Cheers...\Stef
