RSSAC FAQ Update
by Andrew McConachie April 15, 2025

April 15, 2025

Dear RSSAC Caucus Members, As part of its annual work plan the RSSAC Caucus reviews the RSSAC FAQ every year. https://www.icann.org/en/rssac/faq This year the FAQ HTML went through some conversion to the new RSSAC website, which broke the numbering. Instead of a single series of numbers the FAQ now restarts its numbering at the beginning of each section. This will be fixed in this update. The more substantive questions for the Caucus are: -Are there any questions we would like to add? -Are there any answers we would like to change? Please review the FAQ with these questions in mind and reply before December 17th. If any questions are identified as needing new text I will create a separate Google doc with those questions. Then depending on the amount of work we may schedule calls to discuss them. If no changes get identified on this list I will only update the numbering of the questions. Thanks, Andrew

FOR REVIEW: RSSAC Caucus Guidelines for Changing IP Addresses
by Andrew McConachie Feb. 15, 2025

Feb. 15, 2025

Dear RSSAC Caucus Members, Duane, Ray and myself met today to discuss the RSSAC Caucus Guidelines for Changing IP Addresses Work Party. We are requesting the full RSSAC Caucus review this publication from now until January 8th, 2025. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ad1aaymsaDkBdBfXYPj19_PbNeIVnu6dQ2lb2L4… The document is mostly stable. We modified the final two sentences of Section 3.4 and marked them as modified text. Otherwise we only merged text from our last call. We are cancelling next week's meeting on December 19th, 2024. The work party's next call will be on January 9th, 2025. On that call the work party will review comments received in this full Caucus review cycle. Depending on the comments received between now and January 8th, and the outcome of the call on January 9th, we may have a second full Caucus review. It really depends on how many comments we receive between now and January 9th. Staff will send a reminder on January 2nd, 2025 to remind everyone to review the document in the new year. Thanks, Andrew

ICANN 82 RSS Tutorial - How it Works
by Andrew McConachie Feb. 14, 2025

Feb. 14, 2025

Dear RSSAC Caucus Members, At most ICANN meetings the RSSAC gives an introductory presentation on the RSS as part of ICANN's How it Works series. The RSSAC will be giving this presentation again at ICANN 82. In the past, reviewing the presentation prior to the meeting has been an RSSAC activity and the presentation has changed very little. For ICANN 82, the RSSAC Admin Committee thought it would be good to get feedback from the Caucus on this presentation. Especially since a good number of the people on this list have seen this presentation at least once. Are there things you would change about it? https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1arBlU1OKHvx2ju-Sgw5lA-rxpmiSsURtnLL… It's hard to annotate a Google presentation in line. If you would like to propose edits please specify the slide number and precisely what you would change in an email to this mailing list. This review will close on January 28th. After that I'll develop a new version based on the comments received. Thanks, Andrew

Call for Lightning Talks at IETF 122
by Andrew McConachie Jan. 22, 2025

Jan. 22, 2025

Dear RSSAC Caucus Members, Based on feedback received on the 2024 RSSAC Caucus Survey and after discussing it during our January meeting, the RSSAC would like to experiment with adding lightning talks to the RSSAC Caucus meeting agenda. So for the first time we're requesting submissions for lightning talk presentations for the IETF 122 RSSAC Caucus meeting. Proposed presentations should be relevant to the work of the RSSAC Caucus or at least root server system adjacent. We're allocating 3 slots of 5-10 minutes for each talk. The RSSAC Admin Committee will act as a kind of mini programming committee to make sure the presenters are prepared and, if we receive more than 3 proposals, choose the proposals. The IETF 122 RSSAC Caucus meeting will be held on Sunday March 16th. Presentations can be given in person in Bangkok or online. It is not required for participants to register for the IETF, but it is required to have an IETF Datatracker account. Please send any proposals for presentations to me and Ozan before February 12th. If you can send slides with the proposal we prefer them either in PDF or google slides format. But even if you just have a proposal with no slides yet please send us a mail and we will discuss it with you and the RSSAC Admin Committee. Thanks, Andrew
