Revision history for AlternateNICs
Additions:
The Pacific Root is probably the most inclusive of the functioning alternative roots. Bradley, who operates ""PacRoot"", has made considerable effort to check the claims of various TLD operators and to include any who do not conflict with others and to make a reasoned decision of precedence when they do. They (and their operators) have declared the following TLDs (as of 2001-03-10), which OpenNIC accepts
The following TLDs are recognized to conflict with others' claims, and are accepted only contingent on ""PacRoot"" and the TLD operators working in good faith to resolve these conflicts or provide us with documentation of their claim to demostrate prior and continuing service (the basic criteria for authority to serve a TLD):

===""AlterNIC"" TLDs===
""AlterNIC"" was among the first independent responses to the centralization of control over the DNS system. They have declared the following TLDs (as of 2000-06-01), which OpenNIC will respect:
The one quirk in respecting these 9 TLDs, it seems, is that there are other conflicting historical claims to some of the same names. OpenNIC, regardless, will not impose on these domains with our own, though in the course of arranging the peering agreement we may be forced to decide on the legitimacy of these claims. Until we finish our survey of the alternate namespaces or are convinced of a better claim during that survey, however, we will peer these nine entire from ""AlterNIC"". Users of OpenNIC's DNS servers can therefore resolve domains in these TLDs as served by ""AlterNIC"".
