the international datanetwork naming plan, for years.

Millions of paying users, under State Department liaison and with CCITT 
(ITU/T) attendance. Relating 55 monopolies round the world, plus a large 
number of private/independant networks, including one named ARPANET before 
and after switching to TCP/IP.

Coordinated by a very small team of people in San Jose/Vienna/Paris and 
managed by Mrs. Vida Stafford with one assistant. From 1977 (date of the 
introduction of the root name concept by Joe Rinde/Bob Tréhin at the Common 
Carrier Club [WUI - ITT - RCA - Euroean PTTs], until 1986 when most of the 
transfer of public servcies to X.121 numbering plan was completed. Some 
private nets kept using it for a while such ARPANET [com, net..] which 
managed it through the IANA functions.

Or may be you think the DNS is not a good example of the way of managing 
the DNS?
