[rssac-caucus] REMINDER: CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS: new Caucus Work Party on anycast
by Kathy Schnitt Oct. 17, 2016

Oct. 17, 2016

Dear RSSAC Caucus, REMINDER: The RSSAC wishes to investigate best practices to optimize the distribution of root server instances in order to maximize root service resiliency, and to reduce the Round-Trip Time (RTT) between recursive servers and root servers. It requests Kaveh Ranjbar to lead a Caucus work party to produce a report, with adherence to RSSAC Caucus procedures. The work party is asked to consider a number of issues related to the distribution of anycast instances of the root name service, including: * Given the state of current internet technology, what is the maximum latency a relying party should experience when transacting with the DNS root service as opposed to with a single "root server?" * Will adding more instances in more topologically diverse locations make the system more resilient to Denial Of Service (DOS) attacks? * If root operators were to coordinate their deployments of anycast instances, what considerations should be contemplated? * Are there any regional or global technological risks (or benefits) if only a subset of operators (versus all or the majority of root operators) deploy anycast instances? REMINDER: If you are interested in this topic and would like to join this work party, please email Kathy Schnitt kathy.schnitt(a)icann.org<mailto:kathy.schnitt@icann.org> by close of business 19 October 2016. A list of interested parties I have so far are Marc Blanchet, Ondrej Sury, Suresh Krishnaswamy, Shane Kerr, Abby Pan and Ray Bellis. Best regards, Kathy and Steve

[rssac-caucus] FOR REVIEW: Elements of Potential Root Operators v2.
by Andrew Mcconachie Oct. 5, 2016

Oct. 5, 2016

Dear RSSAC Caucus, On behalf of the work party for RSSAC Workshop 2 Statement 4, attached please find Key Technical Elements of Potential Root Operators version 2.2. Redline and clean versions in both pdf and MS Word are attached. Duane and I worked to include the feedback we received from the two conference calls we had on this document. Three things that we feel should be highlighted: 1. Section 3.3.7(Address Registries) has been largely rewritten. 2. Section 3.6.4(Openness and Participation) has been removed. A single sentence referencing DNS-OARC and DITL collection has been added to section 3.6.1(Data & Measurement). 3. We would like to request more feedback on the usage of RFC 2119 language(e.g., SHOULD, MUST, MAY). Please discuss on the list. Thanks, Andrew

[rssac-caucus] Adobe Connect Update
by Kathy Schnitt Sept. 28, 2016

Sept. 28, 2016

Dear All, I sent around updated invites along with an email in regards to the the new Adobe Connect link to use going forward. It has come to my attention today that when you accept the updated invite it isn't overriding the old invite in Outlook therefore isn't updating the Adobe Connect Link (Thank you Paul for figuring this out). For all calls next week I will be sure to create brand new invites from scratch going forward. We have also placed the new link in the old Adobe Connect Room in case some joins. Again please use this link below: https://participate.icann.org/rssac Best Regards, Kathy
