48 HOUR LAST CALL: UPDATED RSSAC Advisory on Metrics for the DNS Root Servers and Root Server System
by Steve Sheng Feb. 18, 2020

Feb. 18, 2020

Dear RSSAC Caucus, Following Duane's last email, the review period for the updated document has concluded. As we have not received additional feedback to the document, the co-chairs of the WP would like to put this document to the 48 hour last call status. Please provide any last feedback you have by close of business everywhere Friday 14 February 2020. Please also note that RSSAC0026v2 (the terminology document) is also being updated concurrently. So prior to the publication, there will be a consistency check of terms used in the metric document against those defined in RSSAC026. Best Steve On 2/4/20, 2:14 AM, "rssac-caucus on behalf of Wessels, Duane via rssac-caucus" <rssac-caucus-bounces(a)icann.org on behalf of rssac-caucus(a)icann.org> wrote: Dear RSSAC Caucus, As you know, the RSS Metrics document was recently finalized within the Caucus and to be voted on by RSSAC this week. However, we, the work party leaders, are proposing two small additions to the document in order to resolve some recently discovered deficiencies in the correctness checking rules of section 5.3. The attached PDF file shows the proposed new text, on pages 18 and 19. While we are somewhat hesitant to make these additions after having gone through a last call phase, we feel that these are important enough to get right for the first version. Briefly, the two changes are: (1) to exclude ARPA/NS queries, and (2) to require at least one "glue" RR in a delegation response. To be clear, if (1) is not addressed at this time, all RSIs would, in all likelihood, fail the correctness thresholds as written through no fault of their own. Therefore, we are proposing to delay the RSSAC vote on this document by one month and to request the Caucus' approval to proceed with these additions. Russ and I kindly ask you to focus only the new additions. It is not our intention to open up the entire document for editing or other additions at this time. Please provide any comments regarding the additions here on the list by Monday, February 10th. Duane/Russ

Covid-19 at ICANN 67
by Fred Baker Feb. 18, 2020

Feb. 18, 2020

Passing along a discussion that happened this morning. The attachment contains a transcript of the shoot log, and a link to the recording. This morning (my time), ICANN held a meeting of the SO/AC chairs and other folks regarding the status of ICANN 67 with respect to the Corona Virus (Covid-19). In short: - ICANN is sufficiently worried to be thinking about this. - a board decision on whether the meeting will happen should happen Wednesday, and could be revisited as events unfold. - the current assumption is that the meeting will happen, but there will be defensive measures taken. : attendees will be temperature-checked entering the venue, and tested and quarantined if appropriate. : hand sanitizers will be available; masks (which seem to be ineffective) may or may not be. - right now, there are no known cases in Mexico (https://www.yourcentralvalley.com/news/top-stories/mexico-in-brief-11-suspe…) - the Mexican health authorities are involved and will be involved. - in any event, there will be the usual zoom access for remote attendees. If folks are cancelling plans, including because their companies are cancelling travel, I would appreciate being told, so that I can bubble the message up. I personally plan to attend unless the meeting is cancelled. With respect to ICANN 68 (Kuala Lumpur), that situation is right now stable, but in four months could easily evolve. "Stay tuned". https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/two-new-coronavirus-cases-detecte…
