Dear RSSAC Caucus, The RSSAC Admin Committee would like to solicit input on operational updates to RSSAC002. The RSSAC work plan stipulates that every July the RSSAC review and consider updating RSSAC002. In addition, RSSAC002v4 recommendation 3 states: "Measurements outlined in this document should be reviewed every two years to determine whether they require updating to accommodate changes in DNS technologies."

There are already two items deferred from the last call on RSSAC002v4 that are listed below. 1) Addition of sampling percentages to unique-sources metric to show what percentage of instances are involved in traffic sampling See mail from John Heidemann on February 24 <https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/rssac-caucus/2020-February/001074.html <https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/rssac-caucus/2020-February/001074.html>> 2) Addition of comments to YAML data to aid interpretation of statistics See mail from Warren Kumari on February 25 <https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/rssac-caucus/2020-February/001085.html <https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/rssac-caucus/2020-February/001085.html>> Thanks, Andrew

Local Perspective Work Party - data publication
by Ken Renard July 8, 2021

July 8, 2021

In the last call of the Local Perspective working group, we discussed the publication of data collected by the tool. The open issue is how the user will decide whether to publish their data to a central repository. The user of the tool should always have a choice whether or not to publish, but the consensus was that the data is very useful if collected to a central repository and that the tool should, at minimum, encourage publication. Here are 3 scenarios, solely for the purpose of discussion, on how the user decides whether or not to publish. 1. User runs the tool. Before the tool exits or presents its results, the user is asked (and encouraged) to publish the data to the repository. Users do not see data before the decision to publish is made. 2. Tool will automatically publish data to the repository unless the user runs the tool with a "--do-not-publish" option. 3. User runs the tool and output is generated. Users are then asked (and encouraged) to take an independent action to publish the data (such as run a publish_data.sh script). The user may review the data before executing the action to publish. I do not think the document should define the exact actions of the tool to this level. Rather, I'm hoping these scenarios will foster discussion to be able to describe our publication strategy Any thoughts, additional scenarios, etc are welcomed for discussion here on the Caucus mail list. Thanks! -Ken Renard

Two Updates
by Ozan Sahin July 2, 2021

July 2, 2021

Dear RSSAC Caucus members, I have two updates to share: 1. ICANN71 Policy Outcomes Report is now available here: https://go.icann.org/outcomes71. The report includes decisions and outcomes from the Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees. Additionally, it features highlights of the three plenary sessions (Impact of Regulatory Developments on ICANN Policy Topics, ICANN’s Multistakeholder Model within the Internet Governance Ecosystem, and Understanding Reputation Block Lists) at ICANN71 Virtual Policy Forum. 2. A one-month nomination period for Dr. Tarek Kamel Award for Capacity Building opened yesterday. The annual award recognizes ICANN community members for significant efforts in developing capacity in areas related to ICANN’s mission. An RSSAC Caucus member, Ramanou Biaou, became the first recipient of this award last year at ICANN69. You may find further details on this award here<https://www.icann.org/en/announcements/details/nomination-period-opens-for-…> and submit nominations here<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScMud3xhi3aMsqz8KtVOYsXpolUFTxxTjY…> by 2 August 2021.

Re: [RSSAC Caucus] FOR REVIEW: Principles Guiding the Operation of the Public Root Server System
by Steve Sheng June 29, 2021

June 29, 2021

Dear RSSAC Caucus, The review period for this document has concluded. There are no substantial comments. Liman and staff worked to finalize the document, see attached. This document will be sent to RSSAC for action. Thank you for working on and reviewing this document, and thanks Liman for leading it. Best Steve From: rssac-caucus <rssac-caucus-bounces(a)icann.org> on behalf of Steve Sheng <steve.sheng(a)icann.org> Date: Tuesday, June 22, 2021 at 11:14 AM To: "rssac-caucus(a)icann.org" <rssac-caucus(a)icann.org> Subject: [RSSAC Caucus] FOR REVIEW: Principles Guiding the Operation of the Public Root Server System Dear RSSAC Caucus, During the writing of RSSAC037 the RSSAC identified the key factors for the success of the DNS in general, and the RSS in particular. Eleven guiding principles emerged from the discussions and are listed in RSSAC037. They have been referred to in different contexts often enough that the RSSAC has decided to publish them separately and with additional explanatory text. The Caucus has been working on this since March this year. Through a series of teleconferences iterating through multiple drafts, the RSSAC caucus has provided feedback, edits and suggestions. Today, staff worked with Liman to incorporate all the remaining suggestions and produced a final draft for your review. Please review and provide any last comments you have on this document by close of business Monday 29 June 2021. https://docs.google.com/document/d/16PaN5_liBOVuIOEoEIUApY_l25XWsL-xkzbG3db… [docs.google.com]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/docs.google.com/document/d/16PaN5_liBOVu…> Best Steve Sheng
