I am happy to see that we are all aligned. Let’s keep up and develop
what we have been doing for decades.

Dear colleagues,
Over the last few days, the European Commission has published a
number of proposals and strategy documents that lay out its plans for
the digital economy. These include the Digital Services Act (DSA),
the Digital Markets Act (DMA) and a policy document outlining the
European Union's Cybersecurity Strategy for the Digital Decade.
We are currently working through these documents to assess their
impact on our operations, the multistakeholder ecosystem and the
Internet at large. However, we’ve already seen that the
cybersecurity strategy document makes a reference to our role as one
of the DNS root server operators based in the EU, with a plan to
"assess the role of these operators in guaranteeing that the Internet
remains globally accessible in all circumstance.”
We have issued a short public response to this point in particular,
which you can find here:

Any feedback you might have on this statement is welcome.
FWIW, as a root server operator being based in the EU we at Netnod
fully support what you wrote. Our views are very similar.
