It is a term that appears in other RSSAC documents that is not widely known by all readers.

We tried but failed. Different folks have very different views of how to define it. Do you feel that a definition of anycast is required in order to understand instances? If so, what part?

> c) why the use of the term "root server” used as a collective noun, whereas the industry convention is to use the term “server” in a more unitary sense to denote an instance of a operating system stack. I had heard in the past the term “root letter” to denote the collection of instances operated by a root server operator, and the use of “root server” in this context is a new one on me

This was heavily discussed on the list over the past month. So far, there is a strong agreement not to use "root letter" or anything about letters.
