[DT-F] REVISED: Design Team F kickoff

[Gomes, Chuck]

I agree that RSSAC involvement on issues such as DNSSEC and IPv6 implementation is needed but I don't think that CSC would have any role there, at least not as I think DT-C is envisioning the CSC.  If I am correct that it will not be CSC, then I guess we need to decide who it would be.

Nothing that we will likely do in this DT should impact this, although I think that going forward (post this DT), we may want to do a bit of documentation. Since changing the Root Zone Maintainer is both out of our scope and nothing that we would want to do in parallel with the change to remove NTIA, I think that we can safely say that it will be business-as-usual regarding the Root operators.

Agreed on this, and agreed on the exception:

Oh indeed, and this was IMHO the argument in favor of including representation for RSSAC on the CSC, as additional insight as IANA services need to be monitored and might need to evolve. I'm not coming from a position of deep conviction on the question, it just seems to me something that should be explored, partly because I'm not fully sure of the scope of the CSC in regards to such a decision process. (IOW my interest isn't in "representation" per se, it's in making sure that stakeholders who have to deploy and live with an operational change are able to provide feedback on planning and implementation.)

There's no documented process of which I am aware for such decisions, so I don't know exactly what NTIA's role has been. I know they've informally consulted root server operators, including via their RSSAC liaison.

New constraints on IANA's budget, either its structure or oversight, should be reviewed to make sure they're not inadvertently taking away the ability to investigate, plan, implement, or monitor the impacts of such changes-- not just for consulting the root server operators, but more generally.


thanks,
Suzanne
