As someone who campaigned hard to bring back Nominet (dot.uk) to the public benefit, I can see that our infrastructure ( including our domain names) needed to be managed by cooperatives rather than our VC backed landscape.
Public commons, rather than rentiers. Which the majority of our domain name landscapes are.
Vint Cerf trying to rehabilitate his reputation via the Internet Archive and Libraries is just 🤦♀️
You built this landscape not just physically but you allowed this. 🤷♀️
