[At-Large] DOC Notice of Inquiry: DNSSEC

[Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond]

I was also present at the meeting in Nice.
Several people (some of them are reading this) tried to demonstrate that 
having another root might not be a very good idea, by referring to RFC2826.

Milton Mueller had a presentation argueing that multiple roots could work.
At question time, I suggested that ONS should apply for its own top level 
domain .ONS and work under the DNS root rather than trying to re-invent the 
wheel. I am not sure if proponents of the alternative ONS root have done 
their homework & looked at previous attempts in details (AlterNIC etc.)

I am not sure whether this & the DOC sollicitation are related.

Kind regards,

Olivier
