This was discussed at the IEPG meeting in July and again in December. The issue at the time was to provide advice to IANA as to the potential siting of additional root name servers - the advice so provided was along the lines of siting one server in the UK with a potential system host of LINX and siting a second in Japan, with a potential host of WIDE. The discussion was initiated by Bill Manning and the notes of the Montreal meeting are at http://www.iepg.org Thanks Geoff
