All three, I would say.
From the real time scribe's minutes:

"Noss: Applauds Lynn for taking on hard problem. Tucows finds
alternate roots issue frustrating. Believe in single, authoritative
root. Many relationships w/ ISPs. In a good position for DNS-based
alternate system. Feared priority for people w/ large user base and
pressure to create alternate system to compete. Dislikes
characterizations of alternate roots as Internet old-timer. Tucows
wants to propose operation of .web next time around."
