i added a bit. its my life, i'll be interested if anyone knows it better than i recall it.
I had this responsibility prior to the transition from hosttables to DNS zone files.
I had this responsibility prior to the transition from hosttables to DNS zone files.
Subsequently I was accidentally involved, as note taker, in the initial "shared registry" model at IETF-49 (San Diego, December 2000), which posited a "shared" (partitioned) model for what we subsequently refer to as the "registry function", and was indifferent on what we subsequently refer to as the "registrar function". Of course, when ICANN implemented its "transition from monopoly to competitive" program, the legacy monopoly integrated registry-registrar (NetSol, now VGRS), insisted on putting "competition" in the "registrar function", retaining monopoly in the "registrar function", for .com/.net/.org. In the same time frame I was involved through the IETF in the IAHC-MoU activity, which also came to naught as Ira Magaziner selected Esther Dyson's proposal to form "the New Entity".
