Success Criteria for the

Root

Server System Governance Structure (R2)

Description:

The RSSAC recommends that the official implementation of the metric system must:a. Meet the minimum requirements specified in Section 3 of this report regarding the number, location, connectivity, and other requirements for the vantage points.
b. Publish all software related to its operation under an open source license as defined by the Open Source Initiative.
c. Make the raw measurement data available to anyone in the interest of transparency. A third party should be able to use the raw data to verify the computation of these metrics.
d. In its monthly reports, only publish threshold pass or fail indicators for each RSI, not the actual measurements or metrics used to determine the threshold pass or fail values.
e. Publicly describe its methods for collecting measurements and aggregating metrics, including the topological location of each measurement vantage point. This description should be complete enough for RSOs and DNS researchers to create their own measurement collection systems similar to those used by the official implementation.
f. Share with an RSO the underlying measurements and metrics that resulted in failure any time an RSI fails to pass a threshold test. The shared measurements and metrics must include all measurements from around the time of failure and must include all measured values for all transports and address typesICANN Board review its response to RSSAC038 Recommendation 1 and take such further action as necessary to take account of the content of RSSAC058.
