Root Nameserver Changes

It is better to expand/modify Root Name Server
Confederations based on where servers are
located and which ISPs use them.

It would be good if the various continents had
their own Root Name Server Confederations.
If that were the case, traffic would not be shuttled
across the various oceans just to give the
illusion that there is operational redundancy.

To add European root name servers to the
list that North American operators use does
not do them a service.
