Etudes d'Utel sur dot-root
"[When] done in a manner that does not threaten the stability of name resolution in the authoritative DNS [] responsible experimentation is essential to the vitality of the Internet. [It may lead to] the ultimate introduction of new architectures that may ultimately obviate the need for a unique, authoritative root. But the translation of experiments into production and the introduction of new architectures require community-based approaches, and are not compatible with individual efforts to gain proprietary advantage."
ICANN: ICP-3: A Unique, Authoritative Root for the DNS: http://www.icann.org/icp/icp-3.htm)
"To combat these vulnerabilities, the security of the infrastructure must not be dependent on a single layer, group or focal point, but rather must be found in multiple layers, distributed defenses, and the ability to recover quickly from any attack."
