First, you might want to ask the 4 RIRs who are not root-ops if any of them
have the means to take over a rootserver operation.

so are the RIRs IMO, but I know you disagree.

You misunderstand the dynamic here.  ICANN/IGF/EU don't have any say in
this matter whatsoever.  You need to go to the root operators themselves
and ask nicely if they will cooperate in this endeavor.  But first you need
to have a home for these rootservers that you propose to move, and
well-funded homes to boot!
