| RSSAC Advisory on a Proposed Governance Model for the DNS Root Server System (R2) | RSSAC038 | Phase 3 | Board Decision Pending - External |
DESCRIPTION
The RSSAC recommends that the ICANN Board refer to RSSAC037, section 5.5.3 to estimate the costs of the RSS and developing the Model. Initial efforts should focus on developing a timeline for costing these. The RSSAC estimates the suggested costing effort should not take more than six months.
DEPENDENCIES
Pending the Root Server System Governance Working Group (GWG) work to develop a final governance model for the Root Server System and the GWG's cost of the final governance model. The GWG is targeting July 2024 to publish its proposal.
STATUS UPDATES
| Date | Phase | Type | Status Updates |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 3 | Phase Update | As the Root Server System Governance Working Group (GWG) begins its work to develop a final governance model for the Root Server System, ICANN org is working on a methodology for estimating the costs of the RSS. ICANN org will also work proactively with the GWG to estimate the costs of the final governance model. The GWG is targeting July 2024 to publish its proposal. |

| Phase 3 | Phase Change | Now in Phase 3 | Board Decision Pending - External |
| Phase 4 | Phase Change | Now in Phase 4: Implement |
| Phase 3 | Phase Update | As the GWG begins its work to develop a final governance model for the Root Server System, ICANN org is working on a methodology for estimating the costs of the RSS. ICANN org will also work proactively with the GWG to estimate the costs of the final governance model. |
| Phase 3 | Phase Update | As part of the ICANN Board's consideration of RSSAC037, ICANN org prepared a "Concept Paper on a Community-Driven Process to Develop a Final Model Based on RSSAC037" (ICANN Board Concept Paper). The ICANN Board Concept Paper outlines a community-driven process to develop a final model for the RSS to be led by the Root Server System Governance Working Group (GWG). To launch the work of the GWG, ICANN org developed a draft charter and operating procedures and a draft work plan. RSSAC037, the ICANN Board Concept Paper, and the draft charter and operating procedures and draft work plan for the GWG are ready for Public Comment. |
| 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 | The ICANN org understands RSSAC038 Recommendation 2 is for the ICANN Board to estimate costs of the Root Server System and for developing the Model for implementation based on RSSAC037. The ICANN Board should refer to RSSAC037 section 5.5.3 in estimating these costs. Initial efforts should focus on developing a timeline for costing these. The RSSAC estimates the suggested costing effort should not take more than six months. |
| Phase 2 | Phase Update | Understanding sent to RSSAC for review. |
| Phase 2 | Phase Change | Now in Phase 2: Understand |
| Phase 1 | Phase Update | ICANN acknowledged receipt of Advice. |
