Whereas, ICANN's Root Server System Advisory Committee (RSSAC) has submitted a recommendation to the ICANN board to allow IANA to "proceed with adding AAAA glue [name server] records to the delegations of those TLDs that request it," and suggests some operational guidelines for IANA to use in implementing this recommendation.
Whereas the RSSAC recommendation is based on a thorough study, including extensive testing on a real testbed network.
