| RSSAC Advisory on Metrics for the DNS Root Servers and the Root Server System (R1) | RSSAC047 | Phase 4 | Implement |
Description:
The RSSAC recommends the ICANN Board commission an initial implementation of the measurement system described in this document to gather operational data and experience from actual monitoring of the RSS. The initial implementation should be designed such that it can transform into the official implementation as described in Recommendation 2 below. The insights learned from the implementation will inform future revisions of this document, if necessary.
STATUS UPDATES
| Date | Phase | Type | Status Updates |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 4 | Phase Update | ICANN org has been working on implementing this recommendation. Implementation is anticipated to be complete at the end of SR1, 15 November 2022. Once this is complete, ICANN org will prepare a document with findings to present to the Board for consideration. This will inform next steps for R2. |
| Phase 4 | Phase Change | Now in Phase 4: Implement |
| Phase 3 | Board Update | Board resolution to implement passed Resolutions 2021.03.25.04 – 2021.03.25.06 on 25 March 2021: https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2021-03-25-en#1.b. |
| Phase 3 | Phase Change | Now in Phase 3: Evaluate & Consider |
| Phase 2 | AP Feedback | ICANN received confirmation of understanding from the RSSAC. |
| Phase 2 | Board Understanding | 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. |
| Phase 2 | Phase Update | Updated understanding based on RSSAC's feedback 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. |
| Phase 2 | Board Understanding | ICANN org understands that this recommendation is asking for an initial implementation of the measurement and analysis systems 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. |
| Phase 2 | Phase Update | Understanding was sent to the RSSAC for review. |
| Phase 2 | Phase Change | Now in Phase 2: Understand |
| Phase 1 | Phase Update | ICANN acknowledged receipt of Advice. |
