Initial implementation of RSSAC047
by Paul Hoffman Nov. 28, 2020

Nov. 28, 2020

Greetings again. As we discussed during the preparation of RSSAC047, ICANN org was going to create an initial implementation of the requirements in the document. The primary goal of this implementation is to help the RSSAC Caucus think more about metrics collecting. I have prepared a very early cut of the initial implementation: https://github.com/icann/root-metrics It is mostly (but not completely) functional, but could probably use a lot of help from the Caucus to make it more useful. If you have a GitHub account, please feel free to open issues or send pull requests. Note that I'm doing this as part of ICANN org, not as a formal part of the Caucus work. I'll add and fix things as a best-effort task among the rest of my work. One important note is that I have not set up the expected 20 vantage points, but am starting to do so now. I expect to have 20 up before the end of June so that the report at the end of July is representative (although it is likely to have flaws due to this being a very early implementation). I am having problems finding enough locations for vantage points in South America and Africa, but believe that I can have those regions filled in adequately in August. Let me know what you think, either in email or by opening issues. I'll send periodic progress reports to the Caucus mailing list. --Paul Hoffman

Application Period: RSSAC Liaison to the Customer Standing Committee (CSC)
by Ozan Sahin July 1, 2020

July 1, 2020

Dear RSSAC Caucus members, It is time to begin the selection process for the Outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the Customer Standing Committee (CSC). Please refer to this page<https://www.icann.org/csc> for information about the CSC. I have also copied below the relevant sections from “RSSAC000v4: RSSAC Operational Procedures” for your reference. With this notice, a one-month application period is now open. Applicants must complete attached expression of interest form (word document) and submit it to ozan.sahin(a)icann.org<mailto:ozan.sahin@icann.org> by 23:59 UTC on 3 July. RSSAC will then consider the slate of applicants at its 7 July teleconference. As you may recall, Lars-Johan Liman is currently serving as the RSSAC Liaison to the Customer Standing Committee. Lars-Johan Liman’s term is expiring 1 October 2020. The RSSAC Chair and Vice Chair appreciate your consideration. Please do not hesitate to contact the RSSAC Leadership or support staff with any questions or concerns. Best, Ozan Sahin on behalf of Fred Baker, RSSAC Chair and Brad Verd, RSSAC Vice Chair 1.2.8.7. Outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the ICANN CSC The outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the ICANN Customer Standing Committee is specified in the ICANN Bylaws. The term for the outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the Customer Standing Committee shall be two years. A person may only serve for two consecutive terms. The eligibility status for a previous liaison is reset one year after having stepped down. The RSSAC must elect the outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the Customer Standing Committee according to the outgoing RSSAC liaisons election procedure (Section 1.2.8.9) from the members of the RSSAC Caucus. The outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the Customer Standing Committee acts as a conduit between the RSSAC and the Customer Standing Committee reporting on matters that need to be coordinated or communicated between the two bodies. The role requires discretion, management skills, and considerable time commitment. 1.2.8.9. Outgoing RSSAC Liaison Election Procedure One month prior to each election, qualified nominees will be accepted for the outgoing liaison position and announced on the RSSAC distribution list. During the meeting that includes election of an outgoing liaison position on its announced agenda, additional nominations will be accepted, and all nominees will indicate their intentions: to accept or to decline their nomination. In the event that only one candidate is standing for election, the RSSAC may elect the new outgoing liaison by acclamation. In the event that two or more candidates are standing for election, the RSSAC Chair will call for a vote. Members will indicate their selection. A simple majority (half plus one) of the voting members will establish the new liaison. In the event a simple majority is not achieved due to having more than two nominees, the nominee with the least number of votes is eliminated and the voting is repeated with the reduced slate of names. The process is repeated until a nominee achieves a simple majority. In the event of a tie, a runoff election will occur with members indicating their selection. In the event of a second tie, the floor will be opened for discussion followed by a new vote with the simple majority designating the new liaison. The RSSAC Chair will forward the name of the outgoing liaison-elect to the reciprocating body. If a vacancy exists in an outgoing liaison role, the RSSAC will elect a new outgoing liaison through this process.
