The Ankara root injected a number of older records into the DNS resulting in false answers to queries. Ankara was also listing as root servers some DNS that pointed back to ICANN data and did not resolve the Public-Root.

Sounds like chaos. If only there was some way of co-ordinating a central root, managed by a trustworthy, established, stable main player. A bit like an internationally organized, non-profit corporation that has responsibility for Internet Protocol (IP) address space allocation, protocol identifier assignment, generic (gTLD) and country code (ccTLD) Top-Level Domain name system management, and root server system management functions. Has anyone considered this ?
