Lauren Weinstein has sent out an announcement for a just-forming project
which is intended to replace the current domain name system with something
which is better distributed, less subject to governmental interference,
fully encrypted, and free of registrars. "The scope of the project
on which I've been working, which I call IDONS - Internet Distributed Open
Name System -- is in early stages, but would ultimately be significant both
in terms of technology and time. It may perhaps be reasonably compared
with the scale of IPv6 deployment in some ways.
" Those who are not
daunted by this challenge are invited to join in.
