[rssac-caucus] Let's welcome to Tripti, and say thanks to Jun!
by Jaap Akkerhuis Feb. 3, 2015

Feb. 3, 2015

ICANN announced: <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2-2015-02-02-en> Full text: RSSAC Elects Tripti Sinha as Co-Chair The Root Server System Advisory Committee (RSSAC) has elected Tripti Sinha, Assistant Vice President and Deputy CIO for the Division of Information Technology at the University of Maryland, as co-chair effective 1 January 2015. Sinha will serve in this leadership capacity for two years. The ICANN Board of Directors appointed Sinha, who brings 25 years of technology experience, to the RSSAC in 2014 as the D-Root Server Operator representative on behalf of the University of Maryland. Sinha joins Lars-Johan Liman, Senior Systems Specialist at Netnod, the I-Root Server Operator, as co-chair for 2015. Together, Liman and Sinha will lead the RSSAC in its important mission of advising the ICANN Board of Directors and stakeholder community on matters relating to the operation, administration, security, and integrity of the Internet's Root Server System. The RSSAC is one of four advisory committees and three supporting organizations that comprise ICANN's global, bottom-up, multistakeholder policy development community. With Sinha's election, Dr. Jun Murai, Founder of The WIDE Project, ends his fifteen-year tenure leading the RSSAC. Professor Murai was the first RSSAC Chair and one of the original nine ICANN Directors. He subsequently led RSSAC through the growth and development of the root server system as well as internal reviews. Dr. Murai was inducted into the Internet Hall of Fame in 2013 for his many career achievements and significant contributions--spanning technical and academic work--in Japan, the Asia Pacific region, and the broader global Internet community. He will remain on the RSSAC as the appointed representative for The WIDE Project, the M-Root Server Operator. To learn more about the RSSAC, please visit rssac.icann.org.

[rssac-caucus] call for document leaders / contributors of root zone TTL work party
by Steve Sheng Jan. 28, 2015

Jan. 28, 2015

Dear RSSAC caucus, In its last teleconference meeting, the RSSAC has identified root zone TTLs to be a work item for the group. According to the process recently sent out, the RSSAC is looking for volunteers for document leaders and participants for the effort. If you're interested in leading the effort and/or contributing the effort, please send a message indicating that to both Liman and Steve Sheng (staff support) Steve Sheng <steve.sheng(a)icann.org> Lars-Johan Liman <liman(a)netnod.se> Before 2015-01-30 2400 UTC. The scope of the task at hand is as follows: #---------------------------------------------------------------------- STATEMENT OF WORK AND SCOPE FOR root zone TTLs TTLs of records in the root zone have remain unchanged for as far back in time as we know from available root zone archives (i.e., at least 1999). This predates both a signed root zone and the use of anycast on root name servers. Until very recently, there has been little reason to consider changes to root zone TTLs. Records in the root zone presently have three TTL values: 24 hours, 48 hours, and 6 days. Most authoritiatve data in the zone is given a 24 hour TTL. This includes SOA, DS, NSEC, and their associated RRSIGs. The TLD delegation records (NS and glue), as well as DNSKEY records, are given a 48 hour TTL. Since the NS+glue are not authoritative, the only RRSIG records with a 48 hour TTL are the DNSKEY signatures. The only remaining records in the zone are the NS+glue (and RRSIG) for the root zone itself. These are given a 6 day TTL. Until just recently, all RRSIG records in the root zone were given a signature validity period of 7 days. This meant that a root server instance that was not updated within 24 hours could return NS RRset responses whose TTL exceeded the signature validity. This is not a problem for validating or non-validating resolvers alone, but could cause problems when a validator is behind (i.e., forwarding to) a non-validator. The signature validity period was increased to 10 days to alleviate this problem. Lowering of the NS RRset TTL is another way to alleviate the problem. If the NS RRset TTL were lowered, it would be reasonable to again reduce signature validity values to previous levels. Verisign, as the Root Zone Maintainer, requests the RSSAC Caucus to consider the extent to which: (1) the current root zone TTLs are appropriate for today's environment, (2) lowering the NS RRset TTL makes sense, and (3) the impacts that TTL changes would have on the wider DNS. #----------------------------------------------------------------------

[rssac-caucus] Identifying enterprise risks for ICANN.
by Lars-Johan Liman Jan. 22, 2015

Jan. 22, 2015

Dear caucus members, First my best wishes for 2015. I hope your year is coming along beautifully and that will get even better! I've received a request from a sub-group of ICANN's Board of Directors - its Board Risk Committee - to help identifying what enterprise risks ICANN is facing and how to assess them. This is not food enough for a formal work party, but I and the BRC would welcome your thoughts on this. Per the appended letter, the BRC wants to receive input before the ICANN meeting in Singapore. If you have any thoughts on this matter, please let's hear them on this mailing list before Jan 31, so that we can collect them and compile them as a collected response to the BRC before the deadline. So ... what comes to mind? Cheers, /Liman #---------------------------------------------------------------------- # Lars-Johan Liman, M.Sc. ! E-mail: liman(a)netnod.se # Senior Systems Specialist ! Tel: +46 8 - 562 860 12 # Netnod Internet Exchange, Stockholm ! http://www.netnod.se/ #---------------------------------------------------------------------- #---------------------------------------------------------------------- # Letter from BRC: Dear SO/AC/SG: The Board Risk Committee (BRC) is tasked to provide oversight and guidance into enterprise risk identification and remediation for ICANN. ICANN has developed a risk management framework and methodology that is used to identify, mitigate and monitor risks. The purpose of this email is to reach out to you, the SO/AC/SG Leadership, to ask your group to identify what it believes are the top five enterprise-wide risks to ICANN. This feedback process allows us to calibrate and evaluate risks identified internally with those identified by the community. We envision a response as an enumerated list of the top five enterprise risks that your SO or AC group believes ought to be ICANN¹s top priorities. We ask to provide a written response via email by 5 February 2015. We anticipate discussion on these identified risks in the SO/AC Constituency meetings with the Board during ICANN 52 in Singapore. Please send all written responses directly to Enterprise-Risk(a)ICANN.Org <mailto:Enterprise-Risk@ICANN.Org> . We understand that you may not have the time to develop a formal response from your SO or AC group. In that case, we would appreciate you providing us with your own personal views or those of a small sub-set of your SO or AC group, but please let us know if you have done so. We will iterate the process to improve it and comments on possible improvements are most welcome. Again, thank you in advance and we look forward to your input. Regards, Mike Silber & Ram Mohan ICANN Board Risk Committee Co-Chairs #---------------------------------------------------------------------- # END.

[rssac-caucus] Solicitation for Statements of Interest regarding Root KSK Rollover
by Barbara Roseman Dec. 12, 2014

Dec. 12, 2014

Please excuse any duplications from other mailing lists ICANN, as the IANA functions operator, in cooperation with Verisign as the Root Zone Maintainer and the National Telecommunications Information Administration (NTIA) as the Root Zone Administrator, together known as the Root Zone Management (RZM) partners, seek to develop a plan for rolling the DNS root zone key-signing key (KSK). The KSK is used to sign the root zone zone-signing key (ZSK), which in turn is used to DNSSEC-sign the Internet¹s root zone. The Root Zone Partners are soliciting five to seven volunteers from the community to participate in a Design Team to develop the Root Zone KSK Rollover Plan (³The Plan²). These volunteers along with the RZM partners will form the Design Team to develop The Plan. Individuals interested in volunteering approximately 5 hours per week for the Design Team should consult the announcement: https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/ksk-soi-11dec14-en.pdf and submit their Statement of Interest to ksk-rollover-soi(a)icann.org no later than January 16, 2015.
