FRIENDLY REMINDER: Review on Trusted Community Representation #Root #Zone #DNSSEC [Call for Comments]
by Salanieta T. Tamanikaiwaimaro Feb. 4, 2014

Feb. 4, 2014

Dear All, The call for comments from At Large closes on 7th February, 2014. There is currently some difference in views on whether the Trusted Community Representatives (TCRs) should have indefinite terms of whether this should rotated. Should TCRs continue to remain self funded or should they be funded? There are also a few other important aspects of this that we would like to consult the wider community on before amending the draft. For those of you who have already commented, thank you. I am mindful that we still have not heard from others. Feel free to comment directly on the wiki via the link below or by responding to this thread. https://community.icann.org/x/nge6Ag Your input into this process will help us finalize the Draft. May we have your views please? Kind Regards, Sala On Mon, Feb 3, 2014 at 7:45 AM, Salanieta T.
