This sort of not-for-profit is exactly what I proposed when the VeriSign
discussion started. A non-technical response to a non-technical problem.
Since my inital email, I've recruited a few other NANOG folks and put up a
website: www.alt-servers.org.

what a BAD idea. worse than anything else on the table or in existence today.
A lot of people try the alternative root servers since their existance. And I have yet to see one that really worked to convince majority of internet to find it authoritative...
alt-servers seems to be emotional response to the problem. No matter how hard you try, I doubt even 20% of all ISP's on the internet will use it

Splitting the root you mean? I'm not sure there was enough info on that
site to come to any other conclusion, but I wanted to make sure.

That may soon change. Seeing as how bad things are getting with VRSGN and ICANN
resources are being lined up to solve this problem once and for all.
