Using a list is one thing, assigning the TLDs to various "managers" is another. Are you saying that Jon Postel's decisions are supposed to over-rule countries like France ?
see rfc1591
What happens if two groups in a country claim to be the authority ?
see rfc1591
What about the ccTLDs that have no country ?
see rfc1591
Will RIPE be handling those ?
no
What ever happened to all of those bogus statements about IP addresses and Domain Names having nothing to do with each other ? Was that just to divert the attention of the U.S. government officials ?
I am not aware of any such bogus statements.
Why doesn't RIPE just admit that they are interested in both IP addresses and TLDs ? Isn't that more honest ?
