The Open Root Server Network (ORSN) is a set of additional [[DNS]] servers for use in Europe. ORSN was started in February 2002 and was shut down on 31/12/2008.<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 USA/[[ICANN]]. [[ICANN]] was primarily dominated by 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>
