Question about root-servers.org
by Alejandro Acosta July 1, 2022

July 1, 2022

Hello there, Hope this is a good place to ask this :-) difficult to imagine a better place. Excuse my question, I promise that I ask it 100% in good faith. My question is: how reliable/accurate the page: https://root-servers.org is?. I mean, I assume that the information is correct, you (not pointing anybody in particular) try to keep it as updated as possible but sometimes I have been told that there are countries that have X root servers but on root-servers.org it says that they have N. I guess the information is not updated immediately but approximately how much time to update a country/city it takes when a new root server is installed/removed? Are there any chances for example a root server got broken 3 years ago still listed (or vice verse, got installed but not listed)?. Thanks again, Alejandro,

May 9, 2022

Dear RSSAC Caucus Members, The vote on the RSSAC Liaison to ICANN Nominating Committee has concluded. RSSAC appointed Hiro Hotta as its liaison to the 2023 ICANN NomCom. Congratulations, Hiro for being appointed and thank you, Abdulkarim for volunteering! Best, Ozan Sahin Policy Development Support Specialist Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Mobile: +90 533 641 0007 Skype: ozan.sahin.icann www.icann.org<applewebdata://021EB1F1-F6B6-443A-908F-419605BF3A61/www.icann.org> From: rssac-caucus <rssac-caucus-bounces(a)icann.org> on behalf of Ozan Sahin <ozan.sahin(a)icann.org> Date: 20 April 2022 Wednesday 14:41 To: "rssac-caucus(a)icann.org" <rssac-caucus(a)icann.org> Subject: Re: [RSSAC Caucus] Nomination Period: RSSAC Liaison to the ICANN Nominating Committee Dear RSSAC Caucus Members, This is a reminder on the close of nomination period to serve as the RSSAC Liaison to the 2023 ICANN Nominating Committee (NomCom). The nomination period will close at 23:59 UTC on Monday, 25 April 2022. We have received two self-nominations so far: 1. Abdulkarim Oloyede (second by Dessalegn Yehuala) 2. Hiro Hotta Let me also take this opportunity to ask if there is a second for Hiro’s nomination. Best, Ozan Sahin Policy Development Support Specialist Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Mobile: +90 533 641 0007 Skype: ozan.sahin.icann www.icann.org<applewebdata://021EB1F1-F6B6-443A-908F-419605BF3A61/www.icann.org> From: Ozan Sahin <ozan.sahin(a)icann.org> Date: 24 March 2022 Thursday 21:12 To: "rssac-caucus(a)icann.org" <rssac-caucus(a)icann.org> Subject: Nomination Period: RSSAC Liaison to the ICANN Nominating Committee Dear RSSAC Caucus Members, It is time to begin the selection process for the Outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the 2023 ICANN Nominating Committee (NomCom). The role is a one-year term beginning at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting to be held during ICANN75 in September 2022. Please refer to this page<https://www.icann.org/nomcom2022> for more information about the Nominating Committee and NomCom Delegate Job Description attached. I have also copied below the relevant sections from “RSSAC000v6: Operational Procedures” for your reference. With this notice, a one-month nomination period via this distribution list is now open. Nominations or self-nominations will be accepted and require a second. Nominees must then accept or decline their nomination and may provide a statement with more context for their decision. The nomination period will close at 23:59 UTC on Monday, 25 April 2022. The RSSAC will then consider the slate of candidates at its May teleconference. As you may recall, the RSSAC appointed Amir Qayyum to this role in 2019 (for service in 2020 ICANN NomCom), in 2020 (for service in 2021 ICANN NomCom) and in 2021 (for service in 2022 ICANN NomCom). Amir’s term will expire by ICANN75, the Annual General Meeting. The RSSAC Leadership appreciates your consideration. Please do not hesitate to contact the RSSAC Chair and Vice Chair or support staff with any questions or concerns. Best, Ozan Sahin on behalf of Fred Baker, RSSAC Chair and Ken Renard, RSSAC Vice Chair 1.2.8.6 Outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the ICANN Nominating Committee The outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the ICANN Nominating Committee is specified in the ICANN Bylaws. The term for the outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the ICANN Nominating Committee shall be one year. A person may only serve for three consecutive terms unless there are no other candidates for the position. The eligibility status for a previous liaison is reset one year after having stepped down. The RSSAC must elect the outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the ICANN Nominating Committee according to the outgoing RSSAC liaisons election procedure (Section 1.2.8.9) from the members of the RSSAC Caucus. The outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the ICANN Nominating Committee acts as a conduit between the RSSAC and the ICANN Nominating Committee reporting on matters that need to be coordinated or communicated between the two bodies. The role requires discretion, management skills, and considerable time commitment. 1.2.8.9 Outgoing RSSAC Liaisons Election Procedure One month prior to each election, qualified nominees will be accepted for the outgoing liaison position and announced on the RSSAC distribution list. During the meeting that includes election of an outgoing liaison position on its announced agenda, additional nominations will be accepted, and all nominees will indicate their intentions: to accept or to decline their nomination. In the event that only one candidate is standing for election, the RSSAC may elect the new outgoing liaison by acclamation. In the event that two or more candidates are standing for election, the RSSAC Chair will call for a vote. Members will indicate their selection. A simple majority (half plus one) of the voting members will establish the new liaison. In the event a simple majority is not achieved due to having more than two nominees, the nominee with the least number of votes is eliminated and the voting is repeated with the reduced slate of names. The process is repeated until a nominee achieves a simple majority. In the event of a tie, a runoff election will occur with members indicating their selection. In the event of a second tie, the floor will be opened for discussion followed by a new vote with the simple majority designating the new liaison. The RSSAC Chair will forward the name of the outgoing liaison-elect to the reciprocating body. If a vacancy exists in an outgoing liaison role, the RSSAC will elect a new outgoing liaison through this process.
