On that note, with IETF 125 currently underway in Shenzhen, I wanted to raise a practical question: does the work party have a standing mechanism to track relevant DNSOP discussions that could introduce new BCPs applicable to root server operators? Given our mandate to align v3 expectations with current standards, it seems worth ensuring we have visibility into that work as it develops — even within our narrow scope.


Generally, it is expected that RSOs follow DNS development and specifications.  The exact requirements of what MUST be followed, technically, are in RFC7720.
