could any alternate root server help us to do this? An entry in ISO 3166 like China, Republic of RC ROC 158 would be right and better. Using an alternate root server, you can do whatever you want, except: (1) You won't change the root zone maintained by the IANA. (2) You cannot change the ISO 3166 table (at all!). To solve (1), you'll have to contact IANA, but they strictly follow the ISO 3166 table. So, you must solve (2) first and that requires an official contact with the ISO 3166 authority from your government. As far as I heard, the authority which has to be contacted is located at DIN offices in Berlin.
Because there is no member of ISO in the Republic of China(Taiwan), (I don't know why, althought we do have such an Institute.) so I write a letter to DIN (postmaster at din.de) and wait for an answer.... Wei-Lun Chao -------- Logged at Thu Sep 3 10:50:13 MET DST 1998 ---------
