Devil's advocate here. The DNS root servers worked, but don't quite feel up to speed with regulations. AFAIU, the root servers still receive FQDN and IP, which is not GDPR-friendly and technically unnecessary.
Also, I'm not sure what happens if a crazy US president decided to disrupt .eu.
While regulating root DNS servers might be undesirable now, it sure feels like the right moment to start the conversation.
- khuey 5y agoThe US government is no longer in control of the root servers, and even if it were, I doubt .eu would be at the top of the target list.

The records served by the root servers can be cached (e.g. .com has a TTL of 2 days), so most queries don't even hit the root servers. It's a much bigger problem for the registry nameservers.
