You know, there's nothing in DNS that makes root-servers.net special. |

If Verisign, I mean ICANN, wants to take away .ORG from
the people who currently use it, then it would be possible to take away the top level
from them. There's nothing magic about the root-servers.net servers. Running a root
server is technically very simple and all it takes is changing a few lines in a configuration
file to point to a different set of them. I don't propose anything particularly
drastic... any root servers should keep pointing at the "official" .COM, .NET, and
.ORG servers... but making .ORG merely one of dozens of new top level domains should
suffice to discourage this move. Particularly if a new domain for QUANGOs and the
like comes into being as a result.
