 ALTERNIC's 0.5% is vastly more support
 than CORE can claim. I suppose if you
 argue the handfull of companies supporting
 CORE is enough to validate it as one of
 the competing Network Information Centres
 you have to accept ALTERNIC is even more
 promising candidate. ALTERNIC even has
 working code, root servers to offer us
 and clients! Amazing that you support
 Alternic Mr. Broomfield. Or will you
 engage another logical dodge to avoid
 the obvious: that there are many equally
 legitimate stakeholders of which Internic,
 Alternic and CORE are but three.
