==ICANN and Domain Name Resolvers==
The mission of [[ICANN]] is to ensure protection and preservation of the stability, utility and integrity the of [[DNS]] (Domain Name System). Some alternate root operators persuade other users to have their resolvers "point" to their alternate root (which is similar to the unique authoritative root of ICANN) instead of the authoritative root. Due to the fact that pseudo-[[TLD]]s are not included and recognized by the authoritative root of ICANN, these cannot be resolved by a large number of Internet users.
