| SSAC Comment on the ICANN gTLD Registry Transition Processes Model (R1) | SAC047 |
|
Description:
The SSAC recommends that ICANN define a testing process that emulates a full failover scenario and that successor and emergency registry operators demonstrate their ability to satisfy the testing criteria.
STATUS UPDATES
| Date | Phase | Type | Status Updates | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 3Closed | Phase Update | Board Update | This item has been processed as much as is relevant and is considered complete; no work is outstanding from the perspective of Board Advice (note that related implementation work may have been integrated into ICANN’s ongoing operations or other initiatives). Status provided in 19 October 2016 letter from ICANN Board Chair to SSAC Chair Board resolution to implement passed Resolutions 2021.03.25.04 – 2021.03.25.06 on 25 March 2021: https://www.icann.org/en/system/ resourcesboard-materialresolutions20210325-en#1.b |
| Phase 2 | AP Feedback | ICANN received confirmation of understanding from the RSSAC | |
| Phase 2 | Phase Update | ICANN org understands that this recommendation is asking for an initial implementation of the measurement system described in RSSAC047. The "initial implementation" is assumed to be functional, but not necessarily up to the operational expectations that a long-term service would have. This recommendation is to the ICANN Board. This understanding was sent to the RSSAC for review | |
| Phase 2 | AP Feedback | RRSAC provided clarifying comments to ICANN Org's understanding - The work described in RSSAC047 is based on a largely empirical model of measurement rather than analytics (see last bullet in Recommendation 3 - cell F14). Therefore, we suggest that the phrase "initial implementation of the measurement and analysis systems” in cell G12 be changed to "initial implementation of the measurement system” to reflect the empirical nature of the initial implementation. | |
SAC047 was considered by ICANN and relevant recommendations were implemented into the Registry Transition process, including the requirement for an emergency back-end registry operator (EBERO) to conduct failover testing periodically. The Registry Transition process is available here: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/transitionprocesses-2013-04-22-en. A process for EBEROs was implemented into the New gTLD Program and accounted for in GNSO Policy (http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/new-gtlds/pdp-dec05-frparta-08aug07.htm), the Applicant Guidebook (http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/agb/guidebookfull-04jun12-en.pdf), and the New gTLD Base Registry Agreement (https://newgtlds.icann.org/sites/default/files/agreements/agreement-approved-09jan14-en.pdf). |
