.COM on the move...

Tue Aug 5 17:57:24 UTC 1997

I'm confused.  RFC 2050 is the IP allocation guidelines.  Perhaps you were thinking 
of RFC 2010 which is Root Server requirements.  That RFC mentions that the Root 
Servers are likely to become disjoint with the InterNIC gTLD servers, but does not 
require it.

The set of servers for the root (".") zone is likely to become disjoint from the 
ser of servers for any TLD or group of TLD's, including those maintained by the 
InterNIC.

You say the InterNIC has a published 5 year plan ... is this on their website 
somewhere?  I haven't seen it.

NSI, _as stated in their published five-year plan_, appears to be on its
way towards RFC 2050 complaince by continuing the separation of gTLDs and
the root zone.  Since J is the first letter for root-only servers, J is
apparently also being used as the first letter for gTLD-only servers (bad
choice IMHO).

Where is the confusion?  Wait, nevermind...  This is NOT an operational
problem Jim, get your DNS politics OFF nanog.
