I think we are sliding away from the original topic here, or?
The first sentence which was quoted said Joe Random ISP is to run one
of the anycast root servers. What Randy says is that one organization
controls all copies of some address which is anycasted.
For me, that is a very big difference.
I definitely want one and only one organization owning/controlling all
copies of the same IP-address.
I.e. mapping IP-address:AS-number:Organization is static.
