Maybe UUNET should help to build a NEW, robust
Root Name Server Cluster ?

It could be RFC 2010 compliant and have 4 to 6
servers to start. Maybe one of the other major
networks could donate a couple of servers to
round it out to 8, which is a nice number for
an RSC.

This would allow UUNET to have a vote in what
TLDs are entered into that RSC. ISPs could use
that RSC if they liked the choices that UUNET
makes. Traffic would be localised and failures
could be reduced because if a UUNET-ISP can
reach UUNET it will likely be able to reach
the UUNET RSC. This may not be the case with
the legacy RSC, with servers on across the
Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
