 The solution has always been to
 throw the doors open to competition
 amoung thousands of Independant
 Domain Name Registries. CORE sought
 an artificial monopoly. The USG
 has explicitly stated that they're
 opposed to such monopolies. As for
 the foolish technical and fiscal
 requirements contained in most
 other proposals I can only say:
 do your homework people. A Domain
 Name Registry/registrar can easily
 function with off the shelf hardware,
 relatively simple software and basic
 connectivity. AND still function
 with repect to the Internet and
 it's clients. For more on my views
