Root Stability Study
by Karen Mulberry March 14, 2017

March 14, 2017

I thought this might be of interest to the SSR2 Review Team. The report will also be posted in the SSR2 wiki page under Background Information [CANN][icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.icann.org_&d=DwMFaQ…> News Alert https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2017-03-08-en[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_news_ann…> ________________________________ Root Stability Study Final Report Now Available 8 March 2017 LOS ANGELES – 8 March 2017 – The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) today published the final report regarding the Continuous Data-Driven Analysis of Root Server System Stability (CDAR). The study examines the New gTLD Program's technical impact of the delegation of new gTLDs on the security and stability of the root Domain Name System (DNS) and is informed by publicly available, historical measurement data. Read the report[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_en_syste…> [PDF, 3.49 MB]. The CDAR study[cdar.nl]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.cdar.nl_&d=DwMFaQ&c…> was conducted by independent research organization TNO[tno.nl]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.tno.nl_en_&d=DwMFa…> and its consortium partners, SIDN[sidnlabs.nl]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.sidnlabs.nl_index-…> and NLnet Labs[nlnetlabs.nl]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__nlnetlabs.nl_&d=DwMFaQ…>. The findings will help the ICANN community going forward to determine if any additional steps are necessary if more TLDs are to be added the root zone system. A draft report was published[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_public-2…> for comment on 27 October 2016. The revised, final version available today incorporates suggestions received during the public comment period. The revisions include additional discussion regarding the data used and recommendations presented in the original report. Additionally, some of the presented analysis results in the draft report are updated based on data that became available after the publication of the draft report. The report of public comments[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_en_syste…> [PDF, 520 KB], which includes summary and analysis of the comments received regarding the study's findings, was published on 9 February 2017. ICANN commissioned this study in response to a recommendation from the Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) to examine the technical impact of the delegation of new gTLDs on the security or stability of the root DNS system. The final report is expected to serve as input for community discussions regarding the future expansion of the root zone. The findings and recommendations will also be presented to the ICANN Board for consideration. New gTLD Program Reviews ICANN's New gTLD Program has enabled hundreds of new top-level domains to enter into the Internet's root zone since the first delegations occurred in October 2013. The CDAR study is part of a series of comprehensive reviews[newgtlds.icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__newgtlds.icann.org_en_…> of the program that are currently underway in a number of areas, including competition, consumer trust and choice, security and stability, rights protection and other areas. About ICANN ICANN's mission is to help ensure a stable, secure and unified global Internet. To reach another person on the Internet, you have to type an address into your computer - a name or a number. That address has to be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN helps coordinate and support these unique identifiers across the world. ICANN was formed in 1998 as a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation and a community with participants from all over the world. ICANN and its community help keep the Internet secure, stable and interoperable. It also promotes competition and develops policy for the top-level of the Internet's naming system and facilitates the use of other unique Internet identifiers.

SSR2 ICANN58 Engagement Session Notes
by Jennifer Bryce March 14, 2017

March 14, 2017

Dear all, Please find below a v1 draft of the discussion points raised during the ICANN58 engagement session, Sunday 12 March. They have also been posted on the wiki<https://community.icann.org/display/SSR/ICANN+58+-+Engagement+Session>. Please advise if you have any additional points to include. SSR2 Public Consultation: Discussion Points 12 March 2017 @ 13:45 DRAFT v1 Review team members present: * Geoff Huston * Eric Osterweil * Emily Taylor * Denise Michel * Mohamad Amin Hasbini * Žarko Kecić * Cathy Handley * Ram Krishna Pariyar * Jabhera Matogoro * Boban Krsic * Kaveh Ranjbar * Alain Aina * Don Blumenthal (remote) INTRO: * ET: The meaning of the words in ICANN’s bylaws (ICANN’s commitment to enhance operational stability, reliability, resiliency, security, global interoperability) are complex. Many of these words will need to be teased out and understood in more detail. * ET: What areas are you interested in having the SSR team focus on? OPEN FORUM: * (David Conrad, ICANN CTO): When the AOC was written, footnote 1 redefined the term DNS to refer to the DNS as well as IP addresses and protocol parameters. In Bylaws 4.6 it talks about unique identifiers but in C.iii it talks about DNS. Review Team should clarify, is that DNS in the traditional sense of DNS or the redefinition in the AOC? * ET: Team must define a scope that’s tractable and useful. * AA: Suggest when team publishes materials, need footnote if referring to AOC definition. * (Audience member): Will the review cover DNS software? * How will the review incorporate youth perspective? * Will compliance issues be addressed? * DM: New gTLDs were not launched at the time of SSR1. How has the domain name space has evolved and abuse mitigation issues surrounding that? IDNs, do these raise security and resiliency issues? * MH: ICANN 10 yrs ago is not ICANN today, more digital and connected – all using unique identifiers to communicate – hope to look into the security issues for the future, smart cities cannot afford to be disconnected. * AA: Unique identifiers evolving significantly. Some of the challenges involve stability. It will be good to see how ICANN is dealing with ensuring SSR of the unique identifiers. ICANN doesn’t have an operational role of the identifiers but it has talked to other entities and it will be good to look at how relationships work, etc. Since last review, it’s important to see how things have improved, including post-IANA transition. * CH: Need forward looking forward review – with changes coming changes (IOT, smart cities etc.). Changes will continue to speed up. Need to look at policies, how they are established/changing and how they affect the review that we do. * KR: I want to focus on 3 areas. 1. Scope (in terms of policy). Eg. How deep should ICANN go in policy making? 2. Consistency of policies (in terms of rationale behind) 3. Requirements for registering a name. 3. The only way to get registrant information is WHOIS, but if you can’t write your address in Latin, by policy you can’t have a domain name. These things need to be harmonized. * Audience member: How does this report interplay with subsequent procedures? * David Conrad: Recommendations should be actionable and easily understood. Clear action items and context. * Audience member: Consider the effectiveness of ICANN’s comms strategies and transparency as we move forward. Eg. has there been an instance of a major stability issue w operation of DNS or led to outage of root zone. In addition to the issue and what actions were taken, I’d be interested in how effective was the comms strategy, and how open/ clear was the reporting of such incidence. Within the context of ICANN’s role. * Audience member: Name collision and ICANN’s relationship w/ IETF around special use names * MH: Abuse of unique identifiers. Need to forecast what will be happening in the next few years. * EO: Privacy vs. the way threat intelligence is used with telemetry * ET: Should we look at block chain technologies? * EO: Review team should describe the ways the interdependencies make up the security and stability landscape. * MH: how much is SSR2 able to collect info from a legal enforcement perspective – those who are most involved in cyber warfare related issues. * Steve Conte, ICANN: Review team should set up dialogue with Public Safety Working Group.

Dear Matogoro, Thank you for the suggestions. I wish that I could arrange an additional meeting room for the RT today, however there are no meeting rooms available for today with the technical support that we need. The recordings are being collected by our Secretariat and the links will be provided as soon as they are available. Please note that this may take several days and they may not be available for the RT meeting tomorrow.

Thanks for the draft slides, Karen. I don’t feel comfortable using the “SSR2 Review Proposed Road Map” slide with actions/months before the Team has had a chance to discuss this. I think the Team can publish its workplan and schedule separately. The general steps taken by review teams leading up to submission of the final report (without dates or ICANN meetings) could be noted instead, or we could just discuss it.
