Hudobnik Cc: At-Large Worldwide Betreff: Re: [At-Large] SAC131 SSAC Comments on Functional Model for Root Server System Governance Thank you, Matthias, for sharing the SSAC’s detailed feedback. It’s encouraging to see such a balanced approach supporting the Functional Model while also calling attention to areas that need clearer definition. The emphasis on governance principles, transparency, and sustainable funding resonates strongly, as these are key to maintaining both community trust and technical stability. I particularly appreciate the focus on operational specifics in the RSSAC037 Concept Model. Clear processes for RSO designation, funding, and coordination with other ICANN bodies will be essential for smooth implementation. The SSAC’s call for continued community consultation is also critical to ensuring diverse perspectives are heard as the model evolves. This is a constructive and forward looking contribution to the RSS governance discussion, and it sets a strong example of how advisory committees can help shape practical, accountable outcomes.

We acknowledge the Root Server Operators’ (RSOs) critical role in ensuring DNS stability through independent, resilient, and technologically advanced operations. The SSAC supports the Functional Model as a foundation for future RSS governance but highlights areas needing further clarity: · Governance Principles: Define clear principles to guide decision-making and governance evolution. · Implementation Roadmap: Develop a staged plan balancing continuity and governance maturity. · Inclusivity and Transparency: Ensure accountability and diverse stakeholder participation. · Funding Stability: Explore sustainable funding to maintain RSS security and resilience. Regarding the RSSAC037 Concept Model, the SSAC recommends the RSS Council address: · Operationalization: Provide a detailed plan to implement the Concept Model. · High-Level Principles: Specify processes, e.g., for RSO designation/removal. · Operational Details: Define secretariat formation, funding mechanisms, and ICANN community relations. · Interactions: Clarify relationships with bodies like CSC, RZERC, and SSAC. The SSAC urges the RSS Council to prioritize these operational specifics, maintain transparency, and consult the community throughout implementation. We look forward to offering further support to enhance RSS security, stability, and accountability.
