!... but the choice of second-level names is unacceptable. Nevertheless,
!I/we as a community have very little clout where it counts (money,
!politics, 3-piece suits, formal meetings, etc.) so that won't make
!much of a difference when CDNNET and NetNorth want <myorg.CA, and
!CDNNET administers the CA domain.

What is the policy of the dARPA NIC on subdomains in the U.S. and
in the ARPAnet proper?  CDNNET and NetNorth may be shown to be ill-advised
if they elect to differ from either an explicit policy or a de-facto 
standard.
