Recommendation DescriptionCurrent Phase

Recommendation 1

The SSAC offers the following comments for consideration on the removal of orphan glue records:

Orphaned glue is an ambiguous term for which no definitive definition exists. The SSAC has prepared a definition that we recommend be included for reference in the Applicant Guidebook (see below for the proposed definition).

Recommendation 2

The SSAC offers the following comments for consideration on the removal of orphan glue records:

Orphaned glue can be used for abusive purposes; however, the dominant use of orphaned glue supports the correct and ordinary operation of the DNS. Thus it is inappropriate to include the management of orphaned glue under the rubric of "abuse prevention and mitigation" and we suggest that it be removed.

Recommendation 3

The SSAC offers the following comments for consideration on the removal of orphan glue records:

Finally, to mitigate the actual abuse of orphaned glue, registry operators should take action to remove these records when provided with evidence that the glue is indeed present to abet malicious conduct.
