[rssac-caucus] Third round review on "Technical Analysis of the Naming Scheme Used For Individual Root Servers"
by Paul Hoffman May 5, 2017

May 5, 2017

Greetings, and thanks for the comments so far. I have incorporated as many as I could given the current scope of the document. The current edition is at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/17eGSbMMo6GbyG8gE4l1uK1LW8Q1iCIouN4PATcV… There are still some outstanding comments, and we need to clear these before we send this back to RSSAC. Please review: - Definition of "node re-delegation attack" in section 2. I have suggested text that gives more space for the possibility that the attacks, while possible, might not be feasible. Terry also suggests adding an actual reference. - The first drawback bullet in 5.6 mistakes configuration information for priming with the first responses. I have suggested alternative text. - In Section 6, Duane points out that "dependency" is too strong, and I propose removing the sentence. - Terry and Duane have a suggested replacement for Recommendation 3 in Section 7.2 Please check all of these carefully and make tracked changes or comments in the document, plus let the list know. We would like this finished by Wednesday May 10 in order to work with RSSAC's schedule. --Paul Hoffman

[rssac-caucus] Monthly Update
by Carlos Reyes April 7, 2017

April 7, 2017

Hello, all. This is the Caucus monthly update. As always, we welcome your feedback on the content and format of these updates. Thank you, Carlos ADMINISTRATION Minutes/Notes from RSSAC and Caucus Meetings Minutes or notes from Caucus meetings are posted here. (This page is now current; apologies for the oversight.) As a reminder, minutes from RSSAC teleconferences are published here. Upcoming Caucus Meetings The next Caucus meeting will be held during ICANN60 | Annual General Meeting (28 October-3 November 2017) in Abu Dhabi, UAE. The exact date, time, and location will be confirmed as the meeting approaches. Per the cadence of Caucus meetings at IETF meetings, the Caucus will not convene at IETF99 in Prague, Czech Republic. The next Caucus meeting at an IETF meeting will be held during IETF100 (12-17 November 2017) in Singapore. The exact date, time, and location will be confirmed as the meeting approaches. WORK UPDATES Proposed Work Items On its 6 April teleconference, the RSSAC discussed recently proposed work items for the Caucus. The RSSAC encourages more discussion before statements of scope and work are drafted. Root Server Naming Scheme Work Party | John Bond, Work Party Leader The RSN document is almost complete however it was noted that we have drifted away from the initial statement of work. In an effort to get the document back on track, a small group from the work party met with some members from RSSAC to identify outstanding issues. The meeting was successful and we have a few more edits to perform on the document and a few more experiments to conduct. We have committed to producing a second draft of the document incorporating all updates by the beginning of May. Anycast Placement Work Party | Kaveh Ranjbar, Work Party Leader The work is aiming to answer or align understanding of a few questions that came out of the first two RSSAC workshops, the questions are formed around general theme of role of coordination between root server operators in terms of: Latency, DDOS, Physical placement of instances and Security. The work is on-going and so far we have a better understanding of the problem area and working towards documenting that. Next step would be converging on the answers and finalizing the results. RSSAC Tools Work Party | Wes Hardaker, Work Party Leader The RSSAC Tools work party was discussed at the RSSAC Caucus meeting at the Chicago IETF meeting. Wes Hardaker is working on finalizing the structure of the code repositories based on the discussion at the meeting.

[rssac-caucus] Distribution of Anycast Instances of the Root Name Service workparty
by Kaveh Ranjbar April 4, 2017

April 4, 2017

Dear caucus members, In the last face to face meeting in Chicago, I promised to send an update on the progress of the work at “Distribution of Anycast Instances of the Root Name Service” workparty, please find my report below. If you are interested to join the work party and contribute to the this fundamental piece of work, please let me know, indicating which question(s) you are interested to contribute to and I will make sure you are added to the WP. All the best, Kaveh. —————— Distribution of Anycast Instances of the Root Name Service workparty update, as of end of March 2017: Executive summary: This work is aiming to answer or align understanding of a few questions that came out of the first two RSSAC workshops, the questions are formed around general theme of role of coordination between root server operators in terms of: Latency, DDOS, Physical placement of instances and Security. The work is on-going and so far we have a better understanding of the problem area and working towards documenting that. Details: The workparty has 20 members, divided in four groups so each group can focus on answering the relevant questions. — Group 1, 7 Members led by Suzanne Woolf: Question: 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”? The work is ongoing, the team has broken down the original question to multiple smaller ones and now is the time to converge on answering them. — Group 2, 14 members, led by Suresh Krishnaswamy: Question: Will adding more instances in more topologically diverse locations make the system more resilient to Denial of Service (DOS) attacks? The work is ongoing, the group has made good progress in defining DOS in the context of root server system as well as systematic resilience. Next step would be compiling current findings as an answer and making decisions on some of open questions, including the need for empirical evidence, etc. — Group 3, 12 members, led by John Bond: Question: If root operators were to coordinate their deployments of anycast instances, what considerations should be contemplated? The work is ongoing, the group has some solid content, including recognising some issues as well as some recommendations, needs to organise and compile the answers. — Group 4, 12 members, led by Russ Mundy: Question: What are the security considerations related to the distribution of anycast instances? The work is ongoing, the input is sparse and right now the main recommendation refers to RFC7706, it might be the conclusion that further work should be derived from that or other sources and no specific work related to the Root Server System is required here. — ——————
