but we did get the answers we needed, thanks to some of those good
folk. and non-answers from others. all as expected. welcome to

root-servers.org does not representevery root-server
  operator.

root-servers.org is not definative. why do you think it is?

Helsinki (FI); Geneva (CH). www.root-servers.org is up to date.

  for those nodes that choose to use root-servers.org as a publication
  method, that might be true. I take your note to mean that www.root-servers.org
  is up to date wrt the publication of deployed sites for the K
  server.

  Don't presume to speak for the other operators please.

I just want to be sure that I understand what you are saying, Bill.

There is no single place where one can obtain authoritative information
about the root server system and all of its individual servers. There is no
single organization that speaks in any collective manner for the root server
operators.

as far as i know, the root-servers.org web site is 100% accurate, and has
100% participation amongst root server operators wrt publishing accurate
information. if bill knows otherwise, i'd like him to say so, and offer
specifics both as to what information is not present, and where it can be
found today, and where it can be found in the future.

if bill is not actually aware of any missing information, i'd like him to
say so, since it's possible to infer from his comments here that the web
site is inaccurate or out-of-date in some way he's directly aware of, and
i just don't think that's true.

i'm saying that there is no place that is public that
  has connectivity information for all instances of the "B" servers.

  i am unaware of a single persistant place and no organization
  that speaks for all server operators in their capacity as root
  operators.
