Yes, Anyone Else has been seeing problems since the days of Bell up through the development and privatization of ICANN and beyond. But outrage over "a TLD is no longer delegated" is stupid shit. Where should ICANN be based and how would that influence its decision making processes?
I don't really think ICANN should be based anywhere or really have any say, or I guess even exist at all. I'm a strong believer in a decentralized DNS system not controlled or designated by a single, all powerful entity. With how important it is and how much breaks if it gets compromised either by outside forces, or by internal corruption, it makes sense that something like this shouldn't be so centralized and vulnerable.
How do you get to
lemmy.worldandevery.toin a world without a common, public namespace? Shouldlemmy.worldbe registered in every country? How do SSL and trust in identity play into all this?
