response to CCWG

[Tripti Sinha <tsinha@xxxxxxx>]

Dear CCWG,


Included below please see the comment from Root Server System Advisory 
Committee (RSSAC) on the latest CCWG proposal.


Best regards,

On behalf of

RSSAC

Lars Liman and Tripti Sinha,  RSSAC Co-chairs


**********************************************************************

21 December 2015


The RSSAC, composed of the root server operators and others closely involved in 
the operations of the DNS root services, has reviewed the the Cross Community 
Working Group (CCWG) Proposal on ICANN Accountability Enhancements (Work Stream 
1) [1] and observed the ICANN community process.


The RSSAC has no position about the proposed accountability mechanisms for 
ICANN. The RSSAC states that its purpose, charter, focus and resourcing do not 
cover participation in such accountability mechanisms. In the foreseeable 
future RSSAC does not expect this to change.


The RSSAC notes that in the draft proposal, the CCWG has put some placeholder 
text of mission revision for RSSAC input [2]. The RSSAC is discussing the 
proposed bylaw language and expects to provide specific response on the 
language by 10 January 2016.
