If you want to see what the "official" folks are doing to create new TLD's have a look at http://www.iahc.org. In fact, you should consider signing the gTLD Memorandum of Understanding since service providers are being invited to sign. Every organization that signs the MoU will have a seat on the Policy Advisory Board that will influence the future management of global generic TLD's. Note that eDNS has some TLD's that conflict with the IAHC list of 7 new TLD's. There is also another rogue outfit called namespace that also has TLD's which conflict with both eDNS and IAHC. > I only ask this question here because I wondered if FreeBSD intends > to add their root servers to the standard cache file distributed > with FreeBSD. It'd sure be a shot in the arm for their project... A shot in the arm with pheno-barbitol is *NOT* what the FreeBSD project needs, thank you. > Anyone got the pros/cons on this?
