Mike O'Dell, from Dave Farber's IP mailing list, on the four bugs in DNS governance:
"the first bug was creating a structure which *needs* governance
the second bug was creating a monopoly to own the structure
the third bug was creating yet another monopoly to provide "governance"
and the fourth bug is not adopting distributed system technology
to render the other three bugs irrelevant."
