Also I think if you can't handle a bit of paperwork, maybe you should not handle a root server?

- jaywalk 5y agoThis is a whole lot more than "a bit of paperwork" including granting EU representatives the ability to do on-site audits.
- nemothekid 5y agoAs I understand it, the services are run by non-profits. A "bit of paperwork" (and truthfully, it's laughable to call any government mandate a "bit" of paperwork) can quickly turn into something that require legal hours which isn't free.
- zepearl 5y agoI agree about not underestimating the needed effort, but to be fair that service nowadays is absolutely crucial/important for a lot of stuff, private & commercial, involving $$$/lifes (maybe e.g. police etc... run some services over it)/whatever. Probably the criticality/importance of the service must be balanced by appropriate controls/checks/procedures/etc... .
- EricE 5y agoMaybe people's time could be spent better administering servers - i.e. doing useful work - than complying with busywork from bureaucrats intent on solving problems that don't exist. Or even worse, bureaucrats making shit up to not only justify their existence but justify the expansion of their empires - which is exactly what this smells like. There is nothing broken or in need of fixing with how the root servers have worked and work today.
