ORSN was started in February 2002 and was shut down at the end of 2008.<ref>[https://lists.dns-oarc.net/pipermail/dns-operations/2008-October/003339.html dns-oarc.net]</ref> ORSN was operated independently from [[ICANN]] but the root zone information was normally kept in synchronization with that of the network coordinated by [[ICANN]]. | ||
ORSN was primarily started to reduce the over dependence of Europe on the USA and [[ICANN]]. Given that [[ICANN]] was primarily dominated by the USA, so ORSN was formed to avoid a possible Internet shutdown in Europe.<ref>[http://tfl09.blogspot.com/2006/09/orsn-european-open-root-server-network.html tfl09.blogspot.com]</ref> | ORSN was primarily started to reduce the over-dependence of Europe on the USA and [[ICANN]].

He also states that "during the last months/years the interest of our team shifted and we could no longer fulfill our goal of providing innovation."<ref>[http://www.circleid.com/posts/20081028_open_root_server_network_closure/ circleid.com]</ref> | ||
