Local Perspective Working Party
by ABDULKARIM OLOYEDE Dec. 4, 2020

Dec. 4, 2020

Dear RSSAC Caucus Members, The Local Perspective Working Party (WP) has had a monthly meeting since our inaugural meeting in April 2020. The aim of the WP is to develop metrics needed in measuring the local perspective to help improve internet services in general and RSS systems in particular. The WP hope to help identify inadequate infrastructure and identify locations for new RSS instance. This could also help give the end-user a measurement of their perspective of the RSS. The WP came up with a number of user narratives which has so far been reduced to 5 (This can be found at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1enH6LjICyAbKVr7ssps_4KapecRAROK0nZrw2ih… https://docs.google.com/document/d/1enH6LjICyAbKVr7ssps_4KapecRAROK0nZrw2ih… ). The user narratives are 1. Evaluating proposed locations for new root server instances 2. Identify currently underserved areas 3. Recursive resolver operators wanting to better understand the RSS 4. RSS data in support of research (*We are considering dropping this because we think it might be out of scope for the WP*) 5. Improve General Internet Connectivity/Access Please we would like you to go though the document and let us know if you agree with these narratives or not and if you have any suggestion. Also we would like to have your comments on the scope of this work in general especially if you think the WP is going beyond what is expected. The scope can be found at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DVtC3DA-oxAvERGYsSdOAcBdmCsDEOwuNU1v5TA… .We are getting to a stage where we need to have the opinion of the member of RSSAC caucus. The recording and agenda for previous meeting can be found at https://community.icann.org/display/RSSAC/RSSAC+Caucus+Local+Perspective+To… Please more impotantly, we need more people to volunteer and help in contributing and writing up the report of the WP. The proposed outline of the repot can be found at https://docs.google.com/document/d/11slZDTqrcwTwywpbi3JwHuU_FoaoN54u0f3B2UF… <https://docs.google.com/document/d/11slZDTqrcwTwywpbi3JwHuU_FoaoN54u0f3B2UF…> I look forward to many of us contibuting and joinning our next meeting scheduled for 14th Decmber 2020 at 16 Abdulkarim Oloyede WP Leader -- Website <http://www.unilorin.edu.ng>, Weekly Bulletin <http://www.unilorin.edu.ng/index.php/bulletin> UGPortal <http://uilugportal.unilorin.edu.ng/> PGPortal <https://uilpgportal.unilorin.edu.ng/>
