Yeah, great idea! DNS, while decentralised, is still becoming a problem as a lot of critical parts are controlled by corporate entities which at times do not cut it.
However recreating it on the same technological stack with different people at the helm would make little sense IMO and would be just siphoning resources.
I think we have to explore what modern approaches to decentralised name resolution exist and maybe build on that, filling the missing parts and creating a compatibility layer. E.g. TOR works, I have privoxy that redirects everything .onion to TOR network, but it's slow as a snirtle.

TLS certificates are becoming another problem: toot.mirbsd.org/@mirabilos/staโ€ฆ
Google is taking over LetsEncrypt and doing business as they deem fit for themselves, of course some babies are getting thrown away with the water ๐Ÿ˜ฉ
