Principles Guiding the Operation of the Public Root Server System
Dear RSSAC Caucus Members, The RSSAC has started working on a document further describing the eleven guiding principles of the RSS. <https://docs.google.com/document/d/16PaN5_liBOVuIOEoEIUApY_l25XWsL-xkzbG3dbc... <https://docs.google.com/document/d/16PaN5_liBOVuIOEoEIUApY_l25XWsL-xkzbG3dbcpGY/>> Work on the document is ongoing. So please add any comments you may have. There will be a session at the virtual ICANN 70 to discuss this on Tuesday March 23 @ 17:30 -19:00 UTC for 90 minutes. A meeting invite will be sent shortly. All Caucus members are welcome to join this session. Thanks, Andrew

In reading the document, it is clear that while the top-level principles are similar, the underlying text has been radically changed. As a first example, the old text under #2 says: RSOs are committed to serving the IANA global root DNS namespace. Root servers provide DNS answers containing complete and unmodified DNS data, including DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) data.[1] In addition, IANA maintains the necessary technical information identifying root servers.[2] That commitment was used as the basis for other requirements in RSSAC037, and for the correctness checking in RSSAC047. However, that commitment has been completely removed in this new document. Similarly, in principle #2, the responsibility to provide a high-quality service to the Internet. What is the reason for such removals? To me, they seemed like a excellent part of the principles. --Paul Hoffman
Paul, Thanks! Your comments are duly noted, and I think you have a very good point. I will definitely approach this from a new starting point. Please let me work through the document from this new angle, and I'll get back to you all with a (probably) rather different document. See my previous mail to the list. Apologies, again, to you all. Best regards, /Liman rssac-caucus@icann.org 2021-03-05 15:30 [+0000]:

Paul, all, I have now gone over the document and added the explanatory short sentences from the original text in RSSAC 037 to each statement. I have also adressed a lot of the editorial comments made, accepting almost all of them. There are a number of comments that refer to content still open, and my plan is to work through them during the work session on Tuesday. Please join if you are interested. The document is still at ... https://docs.google.com/document/d/16PaN5_liBOVuIOEoEIUApY_l25XWsL-xkzbG3dbc... Cheers, /Liman rssac-caucus@icann.org 2021-03-06 09:50 [+0100]:

All, It has been suggested to me (who wrote the bulk of the text) that it would be a better for this document to draw from the original describing text in RSSAC 037, rather than having new text like this. That makes a lot of sense to me, and I wish I had had the sense to start from there myself in the first place. So please, let me "withdraw" this version, or at least put it "on hold" while I do a bit of work to align it with the original text. I'll try to come up with something reasonably soon. Apologies.
