[rssac-caucus] FOR REVIEW: Technical Analysis of the Naming Scheme used for Individual Root Servers
by Steve Sheng Jan. 4, 2017

Jan. 4, 2017

Dear RSSAC Caucus, On behalf of the Caucus work party on root server naming schemes, attached please find the draft Technical Analysis of the Naming Scheme used for Individual Root Servers for your review. The work was charted by the RSSAC on 19 July 2015 (see https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/rssac-root-servers-work-stateme…<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_en_syste…>. The work party was led by Joe Abley, and subsequently by John Bond. It was tasked to: 1. Document the technical history of the names assigned to individual root servers since the creation of the Root Server System; 2. Consider changes to the current naming scheme, in particular whether the names assigned to individual root servers should be moved into the root zone from the ROOT-SERVERS.NET zone; 3. Consider the impact on the priming response of including DNSSEC signatures over root server address records; 4. Perform a risk analysis, and 5. Make a recommendation to root server operators, root zone management partners, and ICANN on whether changes should be made, and what those changes should be. The review period for this draft report is 30 days. Please provide your feedback / comments / concerns to the list no later than 13 November 2016. Best Steve

Dear colleagues, K-root's RSSAC002 stats are in v3 format as of 2016-11-13. If you happen to look at the stats, you'll see that we are no longer publishing the "zone-size" metric, because it is optional. Regards, Anand Buddhdev RIPE NCC
