I think that it would be an admirable goal...but

...There's something to be said for the fact that the 5 RIR's are 
separate organizations, loosely joined by having comparable policies 
yet retaining independence.

...It's not clear to me that the NRO is to have that much of a 
functional role.  Perhaps the RIRs can someday accept each other's 
root certificates - that would need some discussion and review.
