I'd be interested in your thoughts on why you think
that there will be a change in the root server
operators or placement of servers. As an operator
I've been paying attention to this and think I understand
whats going on.

sticking to objective facts and quotations, so I am curious as to why you
believe they have a "serious misunderstanding" of the issues.
mixing a proposed domain registration fee and coordination of
root servers seem to be orthaginal issues. While the
"objective facts and quotations" may be accurate, they
may not have any relevence to each other. Looks a lot
like a hash to me...
