The issue is not that roots should be exclusive.  Exclusive roots 
however are a fact of life.  IANA is an exclusive root - so is the china 
root.  You are correct - roots should not be exclusive.  If we are to 
use the internet together we must co-operate and share our network names 
and numbers together.

Thats easy.  If someone creates a tld then list it in your roots.  Its a 
technical function which requires very little co-ordination.  After all, 
is someone co-ordinating the .com zone file - of course not - why would 
people then think the root requires any more special treatment then the 
.com zone - it does not.

 As an Internet Governance group you should of all realized by now that 
your ability to control the internet, regulate it or for that matter 
co-ordinate it won't work.  The only moral authority you all have is as 
facilitators and nothing more.  You should all focus on that and get off 
the internet governance bandwagon.  Great parties - no action.
