Is this a "told you so" moment from ALAC? :-)<br>
One of the questions it opens for ICANN in the long run, is a
question that's already been asked, that has already been pushed
under the carpet many times because it is divisive, and yet is
existential for ICANN: "should ICANN take a policy development role
in these other name resolution environments?"<br>
Over years, I have seen several of my friends end up losing their
job because the products they were experts in ended up being
obsolete and their last jobs were to help new developers transition
technologies away from their own expertise. If the concept of a
domain name becomes obsolete, is ICANN going to become obsolete?<br>
<br>
