Hi Mike,

I'm only asking for interest in joining a learning process, not really abou=
t any commitment to set up a root server.

And for further clarification: I'm not talking of DNS servers for subdomain=
s, which a big firm might want to do. I'm talking of alternatives to the IC=
ANN root server. At least two already exist that I know of, the OpenRoot in=
itiative maintains one, and China does too, I am told.

Greetings to all,

Obet
