This part particuarily disturbs me. This is the main problem with the whole scheme, a RECURRING $50. I do not understand how this was come up with. THIS IS THE PART THAT MOST NEEDS ANSWERING. And what does the draft document say? It reveals that no one wanted to reveal this data. Here is the excerpt from the draft: ---------------------------begin excerpt------- 10. Q. How did you come up with $50? A. ----------------end excerpt-- NOTE: There *was no answer*, all other questions had answers. If they don't want us to know they're trying to steal our hard work from us and make a profit, STEAL, STEAL *STEAL* it from us, then really OTHER methods HAVE to be FOUND and PUT INTO EFFECT. This is the most riled up I've gotten in quite a while! I usually only get riled up by evil. This is evil! Evil! Your excerpt from the document is as important, if not worse! For profit?! Is the US Government supposed to be For Profit? The United Nations? Who retains the profit? King Ronald Reagan? King Clinton? King Whoever? This is as close to a function which has to be non-profit as any in the history of ... Never mind. SOMEONE PLEASE POST & EMAIL HTTP WEB PAGE pointing towards efforts of people to make alternative root servers. I like my idea (I thought it all out last night, it seems rather operable), it has details having to do with automation and authentification as well as legal positions that these Internic people don't really understand that well, and if they do, I'd like to be CONSULTED with the so-called INFORMATION they have first! (One simple realization I made last night while dancing was that the period where organizations with established names which wish to keep their name proper on the network won't actually check the network first before registering their name will soon end, since the Internet has reached the point where if they haven't checked the network, that's their fault. Plus, COM, ORG, NET are international, so one can't apply domestic things to it exclusively, and I'd be willing to bet that'd stand up all the way to the UN. But this is only an example of things that haven't been discussed fully, and while the details matter, nevermind the details; they failed on a point before the details: not DISCUSSING the details!!!)
