Very well said Peter.  And clearly that has happened.  First wth the 
china root, and last year as we both know - we helped create the Turkish 
root via the Public-Root.  And I heard a little birdy tell me that Saudi 
Arabia and Quatar (?sic) are considering their own multilingual internet 
with the assistance of the UnifiedRoot pirates.

The general problems with building a good system - like the existing 
Public-Root concept - is that so many people in positions of power - 
those in this conference included - are so misinformed, so backward in 
their understanding of networks and protocol, that maybe - just maybe - 
one has to first build the tower of Babel before the twits realize that 
the only way to communicate effectively is to come together and share 
their data.

One thing I find incredible is that so many here were surprised by the 
china announcement, and many more were under the impression this was 
"NEWS".  A clear indication those in the know - know not.

This however does not surprise me.  Many here have been briefed by 
misinformed people and much of that misinformation is generated by the 
ICANN promoters.  Does any old timer here still remember how ICANN 
convenced the USG (and every other fool) that they held a monopoly on 
the root. That was the biggest crock of shit that almost everyone fell 
for.  To think I share a gentic fingerprint with these people is an 
embarrassment.
