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

Much of my point in this talk is that important parts are managed by the IANA, are enacted by the ICANN Board, or are deferred to the GWG; in a perfect world, these agencies would speak for themselves, but that would be a difficult dance. So I will identify the action and the actor, and that RSSAC is not authoritative (as in, "if you have detailed questions, you should really talk with them"). Thanks for sharing this. While clearing up misconceptions and getting everyone on the same page regarding terminology is helpful, ultimately I don't think it will resolve the fundamental issue of no root server being run by a Chinese organization. I feel that the Chinese government will only be happy after there is a root server operated completely by a Chinese organization (I can be completely wrong about this and am happy to be told otherwise, but years of seeing the same discussion have convinced me that this is the case). This can happen in one of four basic ways: 1. China takes over one or more of the existing root servers. 2. One or more new root servers is added and China runs at least one. 3. A separate set of root servers is created (similar to the Yeti project, but with an ICANN-signed root zone), which China running at least one. 4. China runs its own root servers completely independently of ICANN. Option #1 seems the hardest to execute politically. Option #2 seems the highest risk, give the amount of ossified code out there which assume 13 letters (I have some, definitely). Option #3 is probably the lowest risk, since it would leave the current root server system untouched. (I am biased given my involvement with the Yeti project.) Option #4 is clearly the least desirable for the Internet as a whole. I take the deployment of the New Model as a prerequisite for any real change, and look forward to that progressing. 🙂 Cheers, -- Shane

I have just been informed that the Word document I shared was intended for internal use. Please don't share it outside the Caucus. ICANN is removing my email from the archive.

Apology
by Fred Baker July 22, 2020

July 22, 2020

In yesterday's Caucus call, I arrived late. I don't advance an excuse, but I will tell you why it happened. I was on the RSSAC Caucus Rogue RSO WP call during the hour before the Caucus call, and fell asleep sitting at my computer. The Caucus call immediately followed, so the next thing I knew Jeff Osborne was calling my phone to figure out where I was. I was late, and I apologize. I have also been informed that my explanation of the China CIR presentation may have been offensive to Chinese people on the call. Let me hasten to say that I was trying to inform, not to criticize or offend.
