[At-Large] Review of the DNS Root Server Advisory Committee

[Jaap Akkerhuis]

    There is much history here - the root server operators, or rather the 
    operators of the primary system of root servers (there are other systems 
    of root servers) have never pledged allegiance to ICANN.  Rather they 
    run their systems as their own systems, set their own rules, adopt their 
    own procedures.

Don't confuse the root server operators with the ICANN RSSAC. There
might be some overlap but the second group is an ICANN body.
