Updates on the RSSAC001v3 Work Party and Two Public Comments
by Andrew McConachie Dec. 5, 2025

Dec. 5, 2025

Dear RSSAC Caucus, Three updates to share since the RSSAC met earlier this week for their monthly meeting. 1) The RSSAC has decided to pause work in the RSSAC001v3 Work Party to review its Statement of Work. There were concerns raised by some Caucus members during the work party meeting at ICANN 84 that the work may have drifted in scope or that the scope as stated in the SoW needed revising. The work party Chairs met with the RSSAC during the RSSAC's regular monthly meeting on December 2nd and it was decided that the work party would pause until the RSSAC had reviewed and possibly revised its Statement of Work. The RSSAC will begin discussing this shortly, but given the end of year and holidays I would not expect further news until mid-January at the earliest. Once the RSSAC has determined its disposition more information will be shared on this list. 2) The RSSAC recently submitted feedback to two ICANN Public Comment proceedings. The first was to ICANN Public Meeting Proposed Dates for 2029–2033. https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/icann-public-meeting-pro… 3) The RSSAC also recently submitted feedback to ICANN's Name Collision IPv6 Research Study (Controlled Interruption) https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/name-collision-ipv6-rese… Thanks, Andrew
