Dear RSSAC Caucus Members,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>According to the RSSAC Work Plan the RSSAC should update its FAQ before December every year. </div>
<div><<a href="https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/rssac-work-plan-05feb20-en.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/rssac-work-plan-05feb20-en.pdf</a>></div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Recently the RSSAC recieved a question via the <a href="mailto:ask-rssac@icann.org" target="_blank">
ask-rssac@icann.org</a> mailing address concerning why the limit of 13 root servers had been set in the 1990s. Through researching that question with the help of input from community members we developed a new answer for this question in the RSSAC FAQ. Rather
 than just update that single question in the FAQ the RSSAC Admin Committee decided to use this as an opportunity to update the entire FAQ for 2020. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The current FAQ:</div>
<div><<a href="https://www.icann.org/groups/rssac/faq" target="_blank">https://www.icann.org/groups/rssac/faq</a>> </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The draft new FAQ:</div>
<div><<a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/13znyayqFMBXxPIRrKbhyQDk1dO7LOy9oFwedy-oj2gY/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/document/d/13znyayqFMBXxPIRrKbhyQDk1dO7LOy9oFwedy-oj2gY/edit?usp=sharing</a>> </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please review the new Draft FAQ and provide any input by <b>
May 14th, 2020.</b></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
