the number of elements on the network, the proposal said, and will require development of a name resolution system with more expressive power than the current domain name system. The limited number of root domain servers is a systemic vulnerability, the proposal said. The basic concept of the proposed system lies in equal distribution of responsibility by combining system servers into a self-organizing peer-to-peer network. Discussion of the proposal has just begun in an ITU-T study group on security. A preliminary group set up at an April study group meeting will define a security analysis model for hierarchical and decentralized architectures for the name resolution systems, according to information we obtained. The group will examine the Russian proposal, identify the extent to which ITU-T and other bodies are addressing the issues, suggest necessary work to satisfy existing and future needs and define the title and scope of a new ITU-T recommendation.
