Friends and Colleagues,

ICANN’s Office of the CTO (OCTO) has published a new paper entitled “Brief Overview of the Root Server System”.

The paper covers 4 key items:

1. DNS Resolution Process
2. Root-Server System
3. Hosting a root-server instance
4. The role of ICANN’s Root-Server System Advisory Committee (RSSAC)

You can read the paper here >> https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/octo-010-en.pdf [PDF]. Likewise, I am attaching it to this email, too.

Finally, if you are interested in hosting an instance, please write to me offlist.

Thank you,

Fahd Batayneh
