Otherwise it would work, too" You seem to have forgotten that EVERY telephone system in the world is regulated by the ITU - International Telecoms Union  http://www.itu.int . For example, U.S./Canada's +1 country code was assigned by the ITU, and so was the Soviet Union/Russia's +7 and the rest of the country codes (+44 for U.K., +60 for M'sia, etc). ITU proposed ICANN be formed as the regulator of the Net's DNS, and the U.S. DoC followed that proposal as it was concerned about Net's stability. There can only be a single registration authority for Top level domains, as that is the IANA. ORSC and others aren't authority. Period. Eugene
