Description:

The RSSAC recommends each root server operator publish the level of service they offer as a root server operator to the Internet Community by responding to each of the expectations detailed herein

Description:

ICANN should educate users so that, eventually, private networks and individual hosts do not attempt to resolve local names via the root system of the public DNS.


STATUS UPDATES

Board Updatefaltstrom-19oct16The ICANN Board New gTLD Program Committee (NGPC) resolutions on name collision adopted on 7-Oct-2013 and 30-Jul-2014 addressed the issues related to invalid top-level domain queries at the root level of the DNS: http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-new-gtld-07oct13-en.htm; resourcesboardmaterial/resolutions-new-gtld-0730-en.As part of the 30 July 2014 Board Resolution, a Name Collision Occurrence Management Framework was also published, which can be found herewwwicannen/system/files/files/name-collisionframework-30jul14-en.pdf. It should be noted however that invalid TLD query data has not yet been studied and such a study would be required for future "subsequent procedures" for new gTLDs.ICANN has also developed materials to help IT Professionals understand and address the root cause of name collisionresourcespages/name-collision2013-12-06-en#resources. Materials include a guide for IT departments to identify and manage the name collision risks in their networks among other measures towards that endname-collisionmitigation-01aug14
