[governance] Impending publication: Reflections on Internet Transparency

[Peter Dambier]

As far as I can see draft-iab-net-transparent-03.txt is a draft only.

Racines Libres or Liberated Roots are a reality and wont go away
because of a draft that does not even mention their existence.

I am glad the bind nameserver as published by the ISC is able to
cope with more than a single root even when two or more of them
are in the Inclusive Namespace.

I dont think a root that prevents people from using other
languages than english and other alphabeths than latin is
appropriate for a mostly nonenglish speaking world that mostly
writes nonlatin alphabeth. I remember even french, german,
spanish or portuguese writers cannot express themselves in
that subset of latin used.


Kind regards
Peter and Karin Dambier
