Subject: Quick clarification on expectations vs measurements
Hello everyone,
Based on the recent work session and follow‑up discussion, I wanted to share a brief clarification to make sure I’m aligned on how measurement and expectations are treated across the RSSAC documents.
RSSAC001 (including the v3 work party) remains an expectations document for RSOs, focused on describing good root server service at a high level, rather than defining measurements or enforcement. RSSAC047, as discussed in the metrics session, provides observational measurements to help understand system behavior, but is not a compliance mechanism for RSSAC001. RSSAC002, in turn, defines a common format for publishing raw operational data and does not assess performance.
My takeaway was that there was no indication of new or expanded measurement standards being proposed at this time, and that the emphasis remains on keeping RSSAC001 expectation‑focused.
Please correct me if I’ve missed any nuance.
Best regards,
Mohibul

I think your summary is mostly right, except for the minor editorial clean-ups
part. Even editorial changes must meet the substancial/material qualification.Thank you Robert, I believe your summary is accurate and captures the points from the meeting.
I actually would argue that the RZM change wouldn't qualify, because a RSO
would know what RZM meant. So figuring out where the fine line is for
editorial changes may be tricky.I'd consider that a document error, as in general acronyms should always be spelled out. As such I'd say its an error (as opposed to just a clarification), and I'd say it should be included in a future revision. But we can discuss it during a WP meeting of course.Wes HardakerUSC/ISI
