[dns-operations] Missing .us and GTLD records??

[Luis Uribarri]

So you are saying that all IPv6 netowkrs are interconnected and 
operational.

You are also saying that as a GTLD operator who provides a globaly 
available mission critical service it is ok to provide such service to 
the majority of the internet with a potential 2 out 9 failure rate for 
those wo do not or cannot get IPv6 to work.

Also, a significant portion of the internet does not use BIND as a 
resolver.
