Dear RSSAC Caucus Members, The RSSAC will work on updating RSSAC002, RSSAC023, and RSSAC026 at ICANN 66.

Updating RSSAC023
by Andrew McConachie Oct. 11, 2019

Oct. 11, 2019

Dear RSSAC Caucus Members, RSSAC023: History of the Root Server System was published in November of 2016. The RSSAC has decided that it is time to update RSSAC023 with information that is not currently in it. Information such as: -The IANA transition -Jon Postel’s DNS Root Provision Experiment -Updated individual RSO histories -A process for updating RSSAC023 in the future We have a working version of RSSAC023v2. <https://docs.google.com/document/d/16FaQzGJnqBsy5zk4xmLPU2v7FUqLQT8readmSYI…> To see RSSAC023v2 through to publication we can start discussing this on this mailing list, and if necessary schedule calls for discussion. The RSSAC Admin Committee would like to forego the heavy approach of forming a work party and instead have all discussion on this list. They would also like a Caucus member to help guide this effort, sticking with it through to publication and providing updates along the way. If you are interested in helping to guide the work of creating RSSAC023v2 please respond to this mail and indicate your interest. Since we’re not forming a work party, if you’re only interested in working on RSSAC023v2 there is no need to respond. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Andrew

by Andrew McConachie Oct. 11, 2019

Oct. 11, 2019

Dear RSSAC Caucus, As part of the effort of the RSSAC Caucus Metrics Work Party it was determined that the definitions in RSSAC026 also need updating. The goal is to align definitions in RSSAC026v2 with the definitions of terms coming out the metrics work as well as update any other definitions that require it. We have a working version of RSSAC026v2. <https://docs.google.com/document/d/14Un1lCkek4aAyCi9a_oBcoRP02kJ72NtX1ic-LD…> To see RSSAC026v2 through to publication we can start discussing this on this mailing list, and if necessary schedule calls for discussion.

Metrics work party update
by Wessels, Duane Oct. 8, 2019

Oct. 8, 2019

Dear RSSAC Caucus, Last week there was an RSSAC workshop and extended meeting of the RSS metrics work party. We made good progress on a number of open issues, refined some of the metrics, and came up with some proposed thresholds. The attached PDF slide set was presented at the end as a summary of what we accomplished over the two previous days. One item for which we still do not have consensus is the RSS Availability metric. That is, the method proposed in slide 14 of the attached PDF is still under discussion and not finalized at this time. Look for further discussion here and/or in the google document. Our next work party meeting is scheduled for October 17th. Between now and then I plan to work on the document to address and resolve many of the comments that were recently added, and to make updates reflecting the decisions that we made. We will go over the important changes then. DW
