Requests to ICANN Staff
by Russ Housley March 10, 2019

March 10, 2019

I have just learned that some requests have been sent to a few ICANN staff members. Please send requests through Negar and Jennifer. We all have long-standing relationships with various staff members, and we may feel it is easier to just reach out directly, but this makes it hard for Negar and Jennifer to manage the support of our work. Additionally, we want these requests to appear in the email archive for transparency and there is a publicly available list of all of our requests. Thanks for your assistance. Russ

Follow Up Questions: Root zone change management (Verification, etc.), NS / DS record management
by Weissinger, Laurin March 9, 2019

March 9, 2019

Dear all, Boban and I went through the answers for questions regarding Root zone change management (Verification, etc.), NS / DS record management. The answers only addressed ICANN’s own domain *.icann.org, not the root zone. We clarified accordingly. Jennifer, please submit this new question and subquestions, thanks! How are actors verified by IANA when any changes to the root zone are requested / undertaken? (For example, what happens if TLD op requests IP change of authoritative server?) 1. Are there procedures, and where can they be found? 2. What technologies are used to verify requests? 3. What procedures are used to address SSR concerns when it comes to NS/DS record management inside the root zone? 4. What technologies are used to ensure integrity and authentication when it comes to NS/DS record management inside the root zone? All the best and thanks Jennifer! Laurin
