The point of my letter is very clear. What happened? Who was affected? And what are the security repercussions to users world wide. So far ICANN has remained silent.
I should have specified the questions I'm asking are to ICANN. And the answers I want can only come from ICANN.
I don't see how ICANN has to answer to you (or to anyone) for any random MiM attack. The DNS is there, its open, no security built in. ICANN didn't build it, they are however trying to add some security, which you bitch about. You can't have it both ways. ICANN serves the root zone to the root servers, L has said (read the dns-ops for the latest statement) that they are faithfully serving the ICANN root. Both ICANN and the rootop are doing their job. Running your own root is no solution to MiM attacks. Your "solution" does not address the current issue. -- Cheers, McTim "A name indicates what we seek. An address indicates where it is.
