Re: Root Server DDoS Attack: What The Media Did Not Tell You

As a technical, legal, and historical matter the USG does not "delegate"
root server management to anyone.  Root server operators are volunteers
and self-organizing. The USG lacks the authority to tell them what to do,
or to fire them.


Exactly correct.  Of course, various people in the USG may be deluded 
to the point of believing that USG has the authority.  The USG thinks
it has the authority to decide who can or cannot rule other countries,
so it's hardly surprising it thinks it can decide who runs the DNS root.
