Call for Feedback on ICANN Root Zone Evolution Review Appointment

On behalf of the IETF, the IAB has been asked to name a technical expert to the ICANN Root Zone Evolution Review Committee (RZERC). The RZERC is expected to:

  • Review and provide input regarding proposed architectural and operational changes to the root zone.
  • As determined necessary by the committee, propose architectural and operational changes to the Root Zone for consideration by the ICANN Board.
  • Act as a consultation body for ICANN during the RFP process for the Root Zone Maintainer, if needed.

The process for appointing this representative is outlined in RFC 8128.

The current IETF-selected member of the RZERC is Tim April, who has indicated that he is willing to continue in this role for the 2021-2022 term. The IAB is now soliciting input from the community on this incumbent.

Please send your remarks in confidence to iab-chair@iab.org and execd@iab.org by 23:59 UTC on Tuesday, 2021-06-29.  We thank you in advance for your help.
