Time to fork ICANN. We knew this day would come, it is time for a DNS schism.

- ohazi 7y agoThere's no absolute law that icann will always be the one true registry. It's mostly convention, inertia, and an expectation that they won't try to pull any shenanigans. But I'm seeing an awful lot of shenanigans lately... Remember when the browser vendors decided to make an example out of Symmantec by revoking their root CA after repeated bad behavior? At the end of the day, it's a bunch of private equity weenies who paid a lot of money for a piece of paper, vs. the engineers who actually control which piece of paper everyone's computer looks at. We'd have to be willing to stare down a lot of angry people, but we could absolutely win this fight if we really wanted to.
