So root and gTLD DNS server operations supervision is off the charter?
It used to be the first item. This appears to affect ISOC IETF
commitments to ICANN to provide this technical role.
I'm not certain I'm against that--I just want to clarify that this isn't
an oversight.
1. Define the processes by which Domain Name System (DNS) software
may be efficiently and correctly administered, configured, and
operated on Internet networks. This will include root zone
name servers, gTLD name servers, name servers for other DNS
zones, iterative DNS resolvers, and recursive DNS resolvers.
As part of this effort, the group will produce documents
explaining to the general Internet community what processes
and mechanisms should be employed for the effective management
and operation of DNS software.
