Quinn,

Did you read the K5 article?  For your benefit and that of TL;DR-minded folks:

"From this I conclude that any new DNS proposal which depends on establishing new domain hierarchies needs to meet these criteria:

• "It must be non-profit, as its primary motivation has to be the functioning of the system itself, not shareholder profit.
• "Control and functionality need to be distributed Net-wide as a true membership organization since its legitimacy must derive from its users...
• "It must provide domain trees that are explicitly and unconditionally non-commercial...as well as trees which are completely commercial...  It must actually enforce these policies.

"If this analysis is correct, the best (and possibly only) way to repair the DNS system is to establish a set of linked non-profit organizations around the world to operate it..."

I didn't expect an immediate response to my post.  Shoot-from-the-hip mentality is one of the problems.

You're WRONG!

So, where do we go from here?

Honestly, I think those that do want to add stuff should add it and
those that don't should keep providing DNS. Maybe everything that's
currently in place should be left along and we should all adhere to "If
you don't like it, make a better one" and stick to survival of the fittest.

Maybe that maintenance of the status-quot would reduce friction.
