Norbert,

Just a small nit:

Currently, outside of internal checks done by Verisign as the Root Zone Manager, there is no review of root zone changes prior to publication. DoC's role, as far as I understand it, is to verify that ICANN, as the IANA function operator, followed the documented policies and processes in handling a request from a TLD administrator. Once a change is authorized, the next point (outside of Verisign) where the change can be reviewed is after it hits the root servers.

As mentioned in a previous note, I believe this to be a flaw in the current root zone management system.
