@dangoodin @joeklein But the fact that Cogent is not being transparent about a piece of the global shared infrastructure (c.root-servers.net) that they control is... rather disturbing. This is something that they hold in trust for the entire community, and unlike the peering dispute, people have no real way to avoid using it.
ICANN/IANA need to hold Cogent to account for this. At least a public explanation as to what happened, and what steps are taken to avoid it in the future. (more)

@dangoodin @joeklein Question: what does the agreement between ICANN/IANA and Cogent look like for their custodianship of c.root-servers.net? What kind of performance guarantees is Cogent supposed to make, and what kind of penalties are they subject to for non-compliance. And it sounds like this issue was tumbled to by accident. Are there any major monitors of root servers (especially anycast?) out there? Hoo boy, this is a lot to unpack. (fin)
