Talk:DNS root zone

message: I hope my concern's reasoning is self-evident, but if not, I'll elaborate a tiny bit.
::Ultimate Authority
There is no explanation as to the origin of 'ultimate authority', or even recognition of disputes with this authority.
::Utility vs Law
The necessity or inadequacy of current DNS management is a healthy debate, and should at least be linked to.  
::Legislation and Jurisdiction
Even if it is assumed that current management is ideal and most effective, it is not universal, and stretches well beyond national borders. There should be links to conversation on information exportation and jurisdiction.
This is the most disappointing wikipedia article I've read. Please look into my complaints. I'll return.

message: SHOULD this page be merged with Root nameserver ?
::Well.. to my opinion some information here seems to belong better in Root nameserver.
::The root zone deserves there own page if there's enough content, but that should only mention "The root zone is served by the root nameservers". It should not tell "The root zone is served by a-m.root-servers.net." or other details.

thread_title:  DNS System? 

message: It makes not sense. Twas Brillig & the slithy toves did gyre & gimbol in the wabe. The article starts out obtusely:  "A DNS root zone is the top-level DNS zone in a hierarchical namespace using the Domain Name System (DNS)."  Does the writer realize that the sentence is nonsense?  It says, "A DNS root zone is" and then proceeds to use DNS & zone in its definition! (EnochBethany (talk) 03:39, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Please do not use all-caps (it's considered to be shouting)I don't see how the statement could be clearer. You would do better to read Domain Name System first.Jasper Deng (talk) 04:39, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

message: On May 25th 2018, the EU is attempting to enforce its GDPR, effecting ANYONE holding data on "Europeans", based on the idea of protecting privacy from infringements or cybercrime. The DNS has been referenced as a source, but several wikipedians have tarred its integrity (date entry, and the historical and unique changes made to the DNS are certified and verified; so they say the DNS WHOIS is being abused by using alias or post office box addresses, drawing the attention of the Eurocrats as a source of possible fines) , and to top it all off, ICANN could be targeted. EU-based users (theres millions!) of several platforms have been notified that they cannot access the services as a result of this GDPR; other services, wikipedia included, have amended their policy.
It is a possibility that the EU tries the crowbar option if ICANN does not "comply", commandeering the sectors of DNS of concern to the EU, throwing ICANN under the bus. *******The integrity of the DNS is unquestionable********, one has it from good sources.
If the DNS is brought into disrepute by wikipedians seeking to OBSCURE good sources, how do we prevent them from driving away others with integrity?
The mass media (and to be honestly critical, ICANN) have been overly-oriented towards the representation of "commercial" corporate entities (persons), rather than representing PEOPLE and persons, thus the reporting of the rollout of the GDPR will inevitably reflect the bias. GDPR is geared toward PEOPLE rather than commerce. The UK`s ICO even moreso.
HUGE changes to this article are in the works.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.161.188.201 (talk) 13:03, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
