there are enough root name servers outside of the US that we don't need them.
If that is the case, then why do you need this *now* ?
We need to have reverse delegation for the 3FFE space, under ip6.arpa, and this has to happen *now*, not "at some point far away to the future when 6bone has ceased to exist and everybody is living peacefully under the RIR's hoods".
Also, do you really think control of .ARPA will move outside of the U.S. ? http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space At $168,000,000 per /8 per year, that is a nice revenue stream to have. How can RIPE pay that ? Jim Fleming 128-bit DNS is closer than you think...
