Reviewing RSSAC023v2: History of the Root Server System version 2
Dear RSSAC Caucus Members, Thanks everyone who joined the call on Monday April 6th to discuss RSSAC023v2: History of the Root Server System version 2. As discussed on the call I accepted many suggestions in the Google doc and cleaned it up a bit. <https://docs.google.com/document/d/16FaQzGJnqBsy5zk4xmLPU2v7FUqLQT8readmSYI-...> The major new edits we discussed on the call were to the following sections. 1.1 Terminology 2.11 Proposed Governance Model for the DNS Root Server System 7.2 Historical Copies of Root Name Server Information Please review those sections specifically and if you have any suggestions please add them to the document. There are still some formatting and whitespace issues that I need to fix in the document. I will be working on that this week and will produce a new version next week for the full 2 week RSSAC Caucus review cycle. Thanks, Andrew
Helllo, all, This document presents the history of DNS root server system comprehensively and it's very good for people to understand what the evolution path of DNS root server system. I have the following comments after review it: 1) In the second paragraph of Subsection 2.1 (page 7): “transitioning the ARPANET to the DNS” should be “transitioning the manually managed name service in ARPANET to the DNS”. It also appeared in other places, for simplicity, we can say “transition to DNS” for the later ones. [also for MILNET] 2) It's better to have some more description of JEEVES and BIND, then readers can understand better what the difference between them and why BIND is used widely. 3) The use of abbreviation and the corresponding full-name should be checked, for example, after the first time of Domain Name System (DNS), DNS can be used directly. 4) Both NSFNET and NSFNet appear. 5) ICANN plays a very important role in the DNS root service. After ICANN was established in 1998, it acts the functions of IANA. It’s better to describe this big change in the main text (in Subsection 2.8-2.9). 6) The full-name of NTIA is needed in Subsection 2.10. 7) This document is mainly about DNS root server system. In Subsection 2.10, the IANA transition is explained. But it’s mainly about the function of DNS root zone management. So, there is a little confusion for the readers about the relationship between root zone management and root server system under IANA transition.

Thank you Yan and everyone else who provided input on RSSAC023v2. I’ve commented on all of Yan’s suggestions inline below. In addition to these the following significant changes have also been made. 1) Tested all URLs and replaced any dead links with currently active links. Thanks to Patrik and Hiro for helping me with this. 2) Placed all footnotes into the same style. All links to documents now include the Title of the document linked. All linked emails now include the name of the sender and the date sent. 3) Resolved all comments on Section 7.2. Thank you Duane and Paul H. 4) Renamed all headers in Section 3 from X-Root to x.root-servers.net<http://x.root-servers.net> format. As there are no further significant changes outstanding for this document, I would like to start the 2 week review period. Please provide any comments you may have by April 30th. After that, a final version will be prepared for a 48 hour review, and after that, the document will be forwarded to the RSSAC for subsequent voting.

Fixed. 4) Both NSFNET and NSFNet appear. Fixed. NSFNET is correct. 5) ICANN plays a very important role in the DNS root service. After ICANN was established in 1998, it acts the functions of IANA. It’s better to describe this big change in the main text (in Subsection 2.8-2.9). The events of 2.8 precede ICANN’s creation. I’ve edited the footnote on ICANN in Section 2.9 to note that PTI now performs the IANA functions. 6) The full-name of NTIA is needed in Subsection 2.10. Fixed. 7) This document is mainly about DNS root server system. In Subsection 2.10, the IANA transition is explained. But it’s mainly about the function of DNS root zone management.

This is a good point, but I’m not sure how to address it. Can you or another RSSAC Caucus member propose changes to address this?

Hello Andrew and all, About this point: ++++++++++ 7) This document is mainly about DNS root server system. In Subsection 2.10, the IANA transition is explained. But it’s mainly about the function of DNS root zone management. So, there is a little confusion for the readers about the relationship between root zone management and root server system under IANA transition. This is a good point, but I’m not sure how to address it. Can you or another RSSAC Caucus member propose changes to address this? +++++++++++++ I suggest that the transition can be briefly explained about the change of the root zone management. Then we only need to clearly manifest whether this change has influence on the root server system.
