Dear Friends, Please find the record of the Emerging Identifier Technologies <https://icann.zoom.us/rec/play/4ZhSDuzFnVqw66kYgnTuHdDzi_RH0IFCKqKuAzmmcFy7x...> session , held during the ICANN75 meeting, it provides some use cases of the emerging identifiers technologie.

Hi again,
You made one fatal error in your assessment above: Internet end-users are not registrants.
End users don't care about DNS management, and the security THEY seek is access to registrant details in the case of domains used for abuse. The "security" you mention protects registrants and works against the interests of end-users.
It's totally possible that the hubris of DNS alternatives may lead to collisions, but end-users will never see the effect of that, Browsers continue to use the ICANN root and to date have never seen the benefit of pointing to alternames. Plus, two of the biggest browser makers, Google and Microsoft, have a deep vested interest in obstructing any alternative DNS. Any alternate DNS hoping to be successful would need to create its own browser, which is what the TOR project did.
So even if alternative DNSs create TLDs that duplicate ICANN's they will never present any collision or confusion to end-users. The only losers will be registrants in the alternate systems. I have zero pity for them and they are certainly not ALAC's concern or even ICANN's.
Cheers, - Evan
