Dear Co-Chairs,

leaving aside that the Domain Name System is, as its name implies, software, only one way to solve a problem, and thus different from natural phenomena, the individual participant has missed the point.

I can not find any reference to ownership of the DNS, which is understandable, as the issue at hand is not the DNS, but (one of) the database(s) at its core, the root (zone).
