The Race Is On For .net

mikrorechner writes "As reported previously, ICANN is looking for a new registrar for the .net tld. The biddings are in now, and The Register has a lengthy article about the five contenders. Their guess is that only two really have a chance: VeriSign and DeNIC. We will know more in two months."

    I know there's no totally-impartial, non-profit-driven corporation or entity that can do this job well,

    Actually, DeNIC is a non-profit organization (http://www.denic.de/en/denic/index.html), and they manage 8336375 .de-Domains at the moment (http://www.denic.de/en/domains/statistiken/index. html)
