Finally before a root-server is installed somewhere, someone will do
an assessment of the local conditions and taylor it adequately. I want
countries to request installation of root servers, and I know about 20
Pacific Islands countries that need root-servers in case their
Internet link goes dead.
Might I suggest that there is a much easier way to do this: if the
constituency for such a root server is so small and so homogenous (=
they all share a single link to the rest of the net) then it would be
much simpler for all of these users to simply share a single set of
nameservers, which can then all be primary or secondary for all the
domains used locally. This allows communication to continue even if the
root servers are unreachable AND it allows users to register domain
names under any TLD they like.
