This IS the point. There is no independent root-servers. The other
point is: there is no change for two years. And yet there are tens of
thousands of registrants and millions of users. This means there is a
new - non IETF documented - way to manage the namespace. And
therefore a new form of Governance.
Next?
If China can do it for several years, without anyone even noticing or
feeling or wanting being concerned, it means there is no problem
organising externets. Good. This means that others can (and will)
copy them. Your "next?" is their IETF blessing. The ICP-3 test bed is
completed. The ICP-3 criteria are met. What Chinese did is no
problem. The "problem" is with the next one: or is that what you mean?.
