Written Testimony
Of
Donald M. Heath
President/CEO
Internet Society
To
U.S. House of Representatives
Committee On Science
Subcommittee On Basic Research
...
30 September 1997
...

"The Internet Society has taken the leading role in seeking resolution to the
enhancement of the Internet DNS, not simply to eliminate the monopoly
that was established for the registration of domain names under the generic
Top Level Domains (gTLDs) of .com, .net, and .org; but, more from its
historic position as the oversight body for the Internet standards organization,
the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)."

Now...can you report on what progress you have made in
eliminating the monopoly (as you call it) for .COM, .NET
and .ORG ?
