cTLDs do things very differently

  But the authoritative root server set is maintained by ICANN, so they have ultimate control (for now) and can essentially dictate terms for all TLDs. I wonder whether we wventually see some other power establish their own root servers which mirror only the parts of ICANNs DNS that are politically convenient to whoever does this.

    So far root servers haven’t done stuff to ccTLDs

      But they can if they want, which is what power is.

        Eh, kinda? I mean they do that then countries will work around root servers. It’s basically MAD doctrine.
