The founders of ORSN are concerned that ICANN is ultimately controlled by the Government Of The United States . Their aim is to limit the control over the Internet that this gives, while ensuring that Domain Name s remain unambiguous. They also expect their network to make name resolutions faster for everyone. Several Internet Service Provider s in Europe uses ORSN as root for their Name Server s. There are also public name servers that use ORSN. ORSN has 2 operating modes - ICANN BASED and INDEPENDENT. ICANN BASED is described as the normal operating mode and involves daily synchronisation but removed TLD s will not be removed from the ORSN root. INDEPENDENT mode has no automatic synchronisation and is activated "whenever the political situation of the world - in our opinion - makes this step necessary because the possibility of a modification and/or a downtime of the ICANN root zone exists or we do not want that our root zone will rebuild automatically." {Link without Title} . OSRN has 13 root servers
