Questions:
1. how many ccTLD cooperate freely as an operator of a root server?
2. where can I find the requirements to operate a root server
3. would it not be advisable that ccTLDs cooperate in operating a root
     servers to achieve a better geographical distribution of the root servers,
     increase their number and achieve a better global reliability and 
stability?
