I received some corrective input at the last Nanog meeting concerning some events on my DNS timeline (http://www.donelan.com/dnstimeline.html) from people who were there. I missed NIC.NORDU.NET as the first root name server outside the USA. Although I can't identify the precise date it was added to the root list. I took most of the dates from the namedroppers mailing list archives. Other corrective input is welcome. Also I noticed the change to the root server list on November 5 2002 was the first root server change since Dr. Postel died. Here is a copy of Dr. Postel's previous root server change announcement in August 1997 about bringing up M.Root-Servers.Net in Japan. http://ops.ietf.org/lists/namedroppers/namedroppers.199x/msg02852.html
