Sure, but the question was about the relationship between distributed and decentralized for a single object/entity and not comparing two different things, even if one is the superset of another. > At any rate I think the question here is not to nail down a > precise definition, but rather to get a basic handle on what > is and is not in scope for the research group. Right. And i was meaning to imply that we may simply want to establissh the language notation that whenever we say "decentralized" we mean "decentralized and/or distributed". Just to keep the langaage simple. > I think that based on the original intent and on recent discussions, for > example, something along the lines of a traditional distributed > system like Amoeba would not be in scope, nor would technology > based on a permissioned blockchain, > ... since both have highly interested in alternatives to the DNS...

Many blockchains are now also built hierarchical, and you can easily add a distributed consensus mechanism to protect against an attack against less than 50% of DNS root servers. I think you'll have a very hard time to define crisp criteria for in/out of DINRG this way. Probably a lot easier to just stick to the classical approach of figuring out what the top interest of the RG contributors is, how many they can work on in parallel and avoiding to step on other RGs feet. ;-) > (allowing for the possibility of alternative hierarchies.
