Public Comment proceedings now open for the Registry Service Provider Program
by Andy Newton March 13, 2024

March 13, 2024

Hi all, As part of opening the next round of applications for new gTLDs, ICANN is establishing a program that will separately evaluate organizations that provide technical services such as EPP, RDAP, DNS, etc,. from the organizations applying for gTLD labels. These Registry Service Providers (RSPs) will be able to offer their services to multiple gTLDs as part of this program. All organizations are eligible to become an evaluated RSP, regardless of past experience providing gTLD services. ICANN published RSP application materials for Public Comment today with final versions expected in May 2024. The RSP application period is expected to begin in the last quarter of 2024. The details of the RSP Evaluation Program are currently in development and being discussed as part of the work of the New gTLD Program Subsequent Procedures Implementation Review Team (IRT). If you would like to participate in the IRT, please complete this form. -- Andy Newton Principal Engineer GDS Technical Services, ICANN

Fwd: [SubPro-IRT] Review of RST Test Specifications
by Gavin Brown Feb. 1, 2024

Feb. 1, 2024

Hi all, I'm forwarding this as I think it may be relevant to this list. ICANN org is seeking feedback from the technical community on the new Registry System Testing (RST) specifications. If you are a current or prospective gTLD registry operator or Registry Services Provider, or have subject matter expertise on the same, your input would be appreciated! Thanks, Gavin. Begin forwarded message: From: Next Round Policy Implementation <NextRound_PolicyImplementation(a)icann.org> Subject: [SubPro-IRT] Review of RST Test Specifications Date: 1 February 2024 at 14:03:28 GMT To: "subpro-irt(a)icann.org" <subpro-irt(a)icann.org> Dear IRT members, An IRT meeting focused specifically on the Registry System Testing (RST) will be held on 13 February 2024 at 14:00-15:00 UTC. For more information, please refer to the meeting page: * https://community.icann.org/x/boPxDg As you may be aware, as part of our Next Round activities, ICANN org has been working on a new Registry System Testing (RST) service (RST v2.0), which includes a new set of test specifications and a RESTful API that will fully automate the process of testing, for both the RSP Evaluation Program, as well as Pre-Delegation Testing and post-delegation RST. Details of the new test specifications and the API were provided during ICANN78 in Hamburg[1] and the IRT RST Sub-Track Meeting #1 on 14 December 2023[2]. Since those meetings, we have made significant progress on developing the test specifications and the API specification, both of which have been published on GitHub: * https://icann.github.io/rst-test-specs/rst-test-specs.html * https://icann.github.io/rst-api-spec/rst-api-spec.html As we are approaching the anticipated Public Comment period (planned to begin at the end of March) for the RST v2.0 project, we are inviting members of the IRT and the TLD technical community to provide their feedback on the test and API specifications. The RST test specifications are broken down into ten separate test plans[3], each covering a particular scenario. For RSP evaluation, the relevant plans are the Main RSP Evaluation Test, IDN Test (RSP Evaluation), DNS RSP Evaluation Test, DNSSEC RSP Evaluation Test, and SRS Gateway RSP Evaluation Test. Each test plan uses one or more test suites[4], each of which covers a different registry service, such as EPP, RDAP, DNS, DNSSEC, Data Escrow, etc. Each test suite uses one or more test cases that test a specific component of that registry service. Each test case is tagged with a “Maturity” level, which is one of “ALPHA”, “BETA” or “GAMMA”. As of writing, most test cases are at BETA level or higher: while we welcome all feedback, we encourage you to avoid spending too much time reviewing the ALPHA-level cases, as these are the ones most likely to change in the future. To provide stability and predictability, we have moved to a weekly release process, where the test specifications are only updated once per week (on a Wednesday). Each release will be accompanied by a Change Log, which can be found: * https://icann.github.io/rst-test-specs/rst-test-specs.html#change-log If you are interested in seeing the most up to date version of the specifications, they are available in the “dev” branches of the GitHub repositories: * https://github.com/icann/rst-test-specs/tree/dev * https://github.com/icann/rst-api-spec/tree/dev Submitting Feedback We request to use GitHub to submit feedback. Each of the above repositories has its own issue tracker that can be used to submit feedback. You will need a GitHub account in order to submit issues. Current system For your reference, you may find the test specifications of the current RST system in the following link: https://www.icann.org/resources/registry-system-testing [1] https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=264372276 [2] https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=282951922 [3] https://icann.github.io/rst-test-specs/rst-test-specs.html#test-plans [4] https://icann.github.io/rst-test-specs/rst-test-specs.html#test-suites Best regards, Gustavo, Gavin, and Elisa _______________________________________________ SubPro-IRT mailing list SubPro-IRT(a)icann.org<mailto:SubPro-IRT@icann.org> https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/subpro-irt _______________________________________________ By submitting your personal data, you consent to the processing of your personal data for purposes of subscribing to this mailing list accordance with the ICANN Privacy Policy (https://www.icann.org/privacy/policy) and the website Terms of Service (https://www.icann.org/privacy/tos) You can visit the Mailman link above to change your membership status or configuration, including unsubscribing, setting digest-style delivery or disabling delivery altogether (e.g., for a vacation), and so on. -- Gavin Brown Principal Engineer, Global Domains & Strategy Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) https://www.icann.org

.gov zone file downloads stale since November 16?
by Joe Wein Dec. 14, 2023

Dec. 14, 2023

I am getting strange results where if I download a zone file from the browser after logging into the ICANN acount, I get yesterday's version as expected, yet the scripted downloads pick up a .gz that when extracted has a file dated November 16 and a serial in the vicinity of that date's epoch count: 1700092762 (2023-11-15 23:59:22) I did a browser download three days ago and it gave me: 1702261500 (2023-12-11 02:25:00) Today's download via the browser gives me: 1702520700 (2023-12-14 02:25:00) That raises a few questions: 1) Why is the regular download stuck in November? 2) Why is the website download unaffected? 3) Recent downloads give me a consistent time stamp for the time of day which is different from the stuck version, which is just before midnight. What changed there? Is it just me or can anybody else confirm this observation? Can we please fix this *and* add robust monitoring so that broken updates generate an alert! Joe SURBL

Problems on the CZDS and ZFA expiry even with extensions requested?

Are there problems with the CZDS as I've had a number of ZFAs expire even though extensions have been requested (2 more on 28/November/2023) The extension requests were filed on 03/November/2023)? ICANN Compliance seems to take weeks to get around to dealing with complaints.
