[governance] Vixie supports another root administration

[Paul Vixie]

# Any other speculation that the US would take unilateral action and somehow
# "force" the IANA to change the rootzone is just scaremongering IMO.

and IMO also.

# Yes, mainly but many governments (and some CS folk) want to also have the
# rootops sign some kind of agreement (a contract) with a central entity, to
# ensure continued good service.  This is "rootserver management", another
# thorny issue unlikely to be resolved by WSIS.

my employer (Internet Systems Consortium, Inc; operator of F-Root) is on
record as being willing to promise to just about anybody to keep doing what
we've always done, which is serve IANA's data faithfully from 192.5.5.241
and 2001:500::1035.  but a non-binding promise without any recourse doesn't
seem to be of much interest, and ISC's responsibilities in this regard are
to the public rather than to any particular government or NGO.

# > Just thought it would be good to get some clarifications.
# 
# You are correct, it would be nice to have more transparency around the root
# server system. The website (http://root-servers.org/) run by the root server
# operators could be more informative.

i've got a login on that system and could add text to that web site, i guess,
as long as the other rootops didn't disagree with the proposed text.  what
do you have in mind?
