Now this is cool and dearly missing from the internet. A democratic alternative to the root DNS offered by ICANN.

I’m getting sick and tried of these new root namespaces being dulled out by ICANN. I mean seriously? .jobs??? Thats the biggest joke I ever seen. ICANN doesn’t function correctly anymore. The power of the root DNS need to be switched over to a better working body. ARIN is getting on my nevers too with the IP allocations as well. RIPE seems to be more friendly then ARIN now days.

I love how OpenNIC’s website referes to anything ICANN as legacy, and OpenNIC is open to partnerships to run your own top level root. Might submit a proposal for a .mono root later and host it…. Maybe not… Cute thought though
