If your organisation is interested in hosting a node, you can find more information, including the technical requirements and details about the request process, online: http://k.root-servers.org/hosting More background information about these plans can be found in several RIPE Labs articles: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/kranjbar/future-of-ripe-ncc-technical-services https://labs.ripe.net/Members/romeo_zwart/k-root-expansion-plan https://labs.ripe.net/Members/romeo_zwart/new-architecture-for-k-root-local-...
