David R. Conrad responded:
:I agree that it would be nice to have a non-profit, international
:(although not sure exactly what you mean by this, nor what you mean by
:"fully") and democratic organization operate the root as it is a
:global resource.  In fact, I would propose that such an organization
:be responsible for the management of all non-ISO 3166 top level
:domains as well as they are also a global resource.  After all, if it
:is good for the root, why not for the other "global" domains as well?


 Agreed. Also add IP number allocation,
 and the RFC process to it's oversight
 duties.

 My proposal for the creation of such an
 organization - the iic (International
 Internet Commission) is located at the
 URL below. The IIC should be representative
 of all cultures ("fully" international)
 democratic, sanctioned by governments
 and supported by international treaty.
