: This is a formal request to ICANN that they hand over the root server to a
: not-for-profit organization. I nominate ISC for this task.

And here, I had thought that most of *.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. were ISC-sponsored,
mostly not-for-profit/academic/subsidized servers as it was. To be sure,
VeriSign does not control the majority of such servers. :sunglasses:

Nope. VSGN - A, J
       ISI/EP - B
       Cogent - C
       UMD - D
       NASA - E
       ISC - F
       DISA - G
       USArmy - H
       Autonomica - I (se)
       RIPE - K (nl)
       ICANN - L
       WIDE - M (jp)

  ISC controls -one- instance. With anycast, they have lots of
  copies of "F", but ISC does not sponser any of the other operators
  or their operations.

There isn't major vested commercial interest, which was what I was
attempting to convey. While there are some for-profit corporations here,
their involvement is not paramount over the whole of the group.
