[Chapter-delegates] China proposes Internet fragmentation via DNS alternate roots

[Carlos Martinez Cagnazzo]

RFC 6598, or the extension of private space RFC 1918-like space may be
arguable (I'm personally far from convinced) but it has little
'political' implications, zero chances of fragmenting the Internet and
only marginal other implications.

So yes, I don't think alternate roots have a chance of getting any kind
of IESG endorsement.
