[DT-F] FW: For your review - draft responses to ICG Questions

[Gomes, Chuck]

Milton,

Am I correct that you are referring to the ICG proposal?  The CWG proposal does not have a Part 0 as far as I can tell.  Is there something in the CWG proposal that contains that requirement?  The references currently in the implementation inventory table are to the CWG proposal.

Chuck

That aside, can you provide the reference in the CWG proposal that requires there to be an agreement between the RZMaintainer and the IFO?  It would be helpful to add that to the document.

MM: Sure, Chuck:

Part 0 Paragraph 41:
Since there is currently no written agreement between the Root Zone Maintainer and the IANA functions operator for the Root Zone Management process, some form of agreement between these organizations will be essential when NTIA withdraws from the Root Zone Management process.

Part 0 Paragraph 55:
The ICG notes that, under the current IANA Functions Contract, the DNS Root Zone Management process currently has three functional roles, i.e., the IANA Functions Operator (IFO), the Root Zone Maintainer (RZM), and the Root Zone Administrator (RZA). The CWG Stewardship proposal (paragraph 1150) states "Post-transition, no authorization for Root Zone change requests will be needed." Thus, the RZA role need not be continued.
However, since there is currently no agreement between the RZM and the IANA functions operator for the Root Zone Management process, the ICG notes that some form of written agreement between the IANA functions operator and RZM that clearly defines the roles and responsibilities of both parties is essential for the secure, stable and resilient operation of the Root Zone of the DNS when the NTIA withdraws from the Root Zone Management process.

Part 1 Paragraph 1150 2) b):
If the Root Zone Maintainer transition is completed prior to, or in conjunction with, the IANA Stewardship Transition, the new arrangements must provide a clear and effective mechanism to ensure that PTI can have its change requests for the Root Zone implemented in a timely manner by the Root Zone Maintainer (possibly via an agreement between the Root Zone Maintainer and the IFO).
