This may be an important day as Google (Vint Cerf is the Internet Executive there?) seems to be really innovating, and talking seriously, bout things of real interest to @larges. May be, but discussions of the HTTP browser experience is well beyond the mandate of ICANN. Please consider discussing this issue in a different forum.

While I am not belittling the significance of Google's actions, this is not the place to debate them.

Dear Evan, oh! yes it is. For two main reasons: 1) the way the namespace is supported permits get partly read of the DNS and to become locked into the secure GoogleNS (should the access to Google be tempered with, it would be on the news in the minute). 2) the way it is designed and distributed as a free source (as is gOS) permits to develop hundreds of new types of applications and to easily support new Web equivalent applications and externets (I use the word "externet" for an external network lookalike within the network - an "open closed garden" in Internet words with their own adressing scheme. What Vint Cerf and his Google friends are developping is a complete enhanced propriétary ICANN and IETF. jfc
