Dear RSSAC Caucus members,
Thank you for the valuable contributions and detailed feedback shared regarding the above proposal.
This is now moving into the next stage of development, which focuses on synthesizing your comments into a cleaned and more cohesive draft. I am excited to present this refined version to the Caucus for further iteration as we work toward a clean document.
Thank you again for your time and expertise.
James Kunle Olorundare

Thank you James for bringing this topic to the attention of the caucus, and thank you Zhiwei for identifying a critical element of whether or not it is relevant to the scope of the caucus' work. I'd like to quote the RSSAC web page on the purpose of RSSAC and its caucus:"The RSSAC advises the ICANN community and the Board on matters relating to the operation, administration, security, and integrity of the Root Server System."Thus, for a work party to be formed the topic must be specifically relevant to the root server system, not the DNS more generically. There are many other forums where AI impacts on the DNS as a whole may be more appropriate (for example, the IETF or maybe the SSAC).Wes HardakerUSC/ISI
