Re: [stir] current draft charter - ENUM and databases

But, I would modify that to have a Chief Forester (aka FCC) that points to
the respective Forest Guides (aka SP number block holders) to resolve a
query from the general public.

LoST avoids a golden root by establishing a kind of transitive trust model
where an entity called a "Forest Guide" knows about other Forest Guides and
their coverage region by some unspecified means and can refer a request for
service in one of the known coverage regions to the proper Forest Guide.
Rather than having a root and a delegation model, it relies on Forest Guide
operators working out who should be trusted among themselves.
