FW: Imminent SSR issue
Hi All, I sent this to the list last week and didn’t get any responses. Did anyone see this? CC excom to make sure this is seen and on our radar. V/r, -Scott From: Scott McCormick <smccormick@kvantcorp.com> Date: Thursday, August 30, 2018 at 11:26 AM To: Ssr2-review <ssr2-review-bounces@icann.org> Subject: Imminent SSR issue Hi all, An issue that I’ve been keeping my eye on and is an imminent SSR issue is the DNS KSK roll. There are varying points of view, with the two outer views being 1) roll it 2) do not. There is plenty of room for debate on this, however SSAC produced report 102 https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/sac-102-en.pdf where several dissents, one being Verisign, which being a root operator I weigh their input on this matter. Verisign’s comments being the only statistical data that has been presented in comments on the DNS KSK roll has some valid concerns. https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/comments-ksk-rollover-restart-01feb18/attachm... If I missed others data that has been posted on this please enlighten me. This issue should be a priority for us as a team. Look forward to hearing any comments on this.

my audio problems prevented me from hearing whatever Scott might have added to his question on the call today, and i won't have time to listen to that call again this week, so i'm hereby asking Scott explicitly whether we covered his concerns adequately? there is one more thing i wanted to mention but didn't want to take up more time on the call. i encourage (really, please) anyone with some time or some students to go through and analyze the public comments for this KSK roll announcement -- there are only ~22 of them) https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/comments-ksk-rollover-restart-01feb18/ and to consider the size and scope of the stakeholders who made them, and see if you come up with the same comclusion ICANN drew that there is a "preponderance of support to roll". i personally drew the opposite conclusion from the public comments. i predict that if "the wrong things go wrong", many people will go back and analyze these comments and come to a different conclusion than ICANN did. this i think is a serious SSR (and AT, and CCT, and even RDS-WHOIS!) issue: that icannORG has responsibility for evaluating feedback on its proposed policies before launching them. as an academic, this felt to me like authors submitting a paper, getting a bunch of critical feedback about the paper, and then the authors deciding whether the paper gets published. (or in ietf-land, whether a new RFC is standardized.) i think icannORG is in an untenable position here, i am not suggesting a deep dive into all the things they could have done differently for the KSK roll. but our recommendations should recognize CoIs inherent in the process of peer review of SSR issues, which i suspect it will come up as we evaluate SSR1 recommendations. i suspect several of us are already considering a recommendation that includes support for someone independent from icann determining whether icann has implemented all SSR2 recommendations. k
Hi. I agree with KC, Scott, Eric, others regarding KSK rollover – I think this is both a substantive and process issue for SSR2. I reviewed the public comments on this (here<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/report-comments-ksk-rollover-res...> and here<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/ksk-rollover-restart-2018-02-01-en>) and considered the size, scope and standing of the stakeholders who made them. I also came to the opposite conclusion of ICANN staff who state that there’s a preponderance support for the roll as planned. While reasonable people can disagree, I think when the collective global businesses and Internet user groups in ICANN, as well Verisign (with its historic responsibilities in this area) ask that issues be addressed before proceeding, that deserves serious consideration and substantive response. By any standard, that did not occur. For example, the Business Constituency<https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/comments-ksk-rollover-restart-01feb18/attachm...> raised a number of questions and issues (comment drafted by staff of Facebook and Google and unanimously adopted by the BC), yet only one issue was addressed in a cursory response that cites APNIC data analysis.
