It is an alternative root, since it is not sanctioned nor supported by ICANN.
I can recommend any organisation who has the resources (skill and infrastructure) that would like to help to spread the load of the root-servers to contact the anycast-enabled root operators (ISC, Autonomica/Nordunet, RIPE).
several other operators are also anycasting - we don't use the ISC maintained publication page ...
ICANN root-server network.
this is a misnomer. there is no ICANN supported root server network. ICANN sactions a root-server network, but its not theirs.
