One governance question. As far as I know (I am not a root name server

(very strong) requirments of this document. But not all. If the
document is published, what will happen of them?
We report them to the Internet Police's Root Server Department. :-)
To be less flippant, I would assume that someone who has a concern
about root server operations will ask each RSO if their server meets
or exceeds the requirements in RFC2870bis and if the answer is no,
they'll ask why not.
In other words, what is the goal of the document? Exercice some
pressure or more?
IMO RFC2870bis is probably never going to be aligned with what is
actually done to run a real root server. Discussion of some of those
practices probably won't be in the public domain for a while anyway.
That said, it's good to update and revise those guidelines from time
to time. IMO the value of this document is to describe the general
principles and suggest to others how an "important" DNS server should
be operated. For instance, it can (and has) been used in RFPs for DNS
service for TLDs.
