Call for Lightning Talks at IETF 124 RSSAC Caucus Meeting
by Andrew McConachie Oct. 7, 2025

Oct. 7, 2025

Dear RSSAC Caucus Members, The RSSAC Caucus will be meeting at IETF 124 in Montreal on November 2nd, 2025. The RSSAC Admin Committee is requesting submissions for lightning talk presentations for this meeting. Proposed presentations should be relevant to the work of the RSSAC Caucus or at least root server system adjacent. All DNS related topics are welcome, but we are particularly interested in anything related to the root server system, root server operations, measurement, security, etc. Presentations can be given in person in Montreal or online. It is not required for participants to register for the IETF meeting, but it is required to have an IETF Datatracker account. Please send any proposals for presentations to me and Daniel Gluck before September 1st. 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 send us a mail and we will discuss it with you and the RSSAC Admin Committee. Thanks, Andrew & Dan

Dear RSSAC Caucus members, The RSSAC annual work plan<https://itp.cdn.icann.org/en/files/general-information/rssac-work-plan-22de…> suggests the RSSAC Caucus Membership Committee to conduct an annual membership survey for the RSSAC Caucus in August/September. The goal is to evaluate the level of engagement in the RSSAC Caucus every year. On Monday, 25 August 2025 at 09:00 UTC, you received a link to the survey from “RSSAC Caucus Membership Committee”. The survey takes between 7 to 10 minutes to complete depending on any comments you may provide. Please check your spam folder if you do not see a survey email in your inbox with the title “Your Invitation: RSSAC Caucus Membership Survey.” RSSAC Caucus members who have not opened the email yet will receive a reminder note on Thursday, 28 August. Please complete the survey by Monday, 8 September 2025. RSSAC Caucus Membership Committee plans to present the findings from the survey and discuss next steps with you during the next RSSAC Caucus meeting at ICANN84. Do not hesitate to contact support staff with any questions. We look forward to your feedback.

RSSAC001v3 Work Party Update
by Andrew McConachie Aug. 13, 2025

Aug. 13, 2025

Dear RSSAC Caucus Members, The work party held a meeting on July 29th. If you were not able to join the meeting here is the Zoom recording link. https://icann.zoom.us/rec/share/x7LymNLty4q38G6UiudAcyq76s4gxAhiahgUHrsE24-… The next work party meeting will be held on August 12th. Below please find a link to the agenda and relevant links, including the working document. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mLgEgPNmrxLQV8hSN43xNpMClVftwi0gmDzBgdi… We'll begin looking at the working document at Section 3.2. Please feel free to comment in the document prior to the meeting. On the RSSAC monthly call it was brought up that we should periodically revisit our work party standing meeting time. The point of this is to share the pain a bit, so that Caucus members from more disadvantaged timezones aren't so disadvantaged. This discussion obviously needs to happen on the mailing list, and not on a call that people can't join because the time is bad for them. So I propose that after every 4 work party meetings I will bring this topic to the list and if someone feels that they're unable to participate because of the standing call time they can speak up. We're never going to find a time that works for everyone, but we also don't want to vary the meeting times so much that they're unpredictable, or that every call has different people showing up. I'm bringing this up now, so if you feel that the standing call time impacts your participation please speak up. Based on the mailing list discussion the Chairs and staff will determine if we should change the standing work party meeting time. Thanks, Andrew
