ROTFLMAO! That's the old CORE registry that you're describing! Ever wonder 
why it didn't work?

Today there is more than one root zone, so how can TLDA be a cartel over a 
single root zone? Let me help you narrow this down:

    provide liaison between TLD Holders and Root Managers
    in the interests of collision-free choice to the
    world Internet community

The Root Managers decide what goes into their roots. There is more than one 
root, and TLDA is just a facilitator of consensus between the various root 
zones.

Kent, once again, your narrow-world-view defies logic.

Simon
