[council] Revised resolution in response to Stuart Lynn's request

[Bruce Tonkin <Bruce.Tonkin@melbourneit.com.au>]

Hello All,

In response to feedback received from Marilyn and Elisabeth, here is a
slightly revised resolution to the one posted on Friday 27 Sept 2002.  As
discussed in the teleconference on 26 Sept, I have separated the resolution
from Elisabeth 
(http://www.dnso.org/clubpublic/council/Arc11/msg00088.html)
that relates to problems cctld managers are having getting updates made to
root zone, from this resolution that is more general that responds to Stuart
Lynn's letter to the names council.

The following resolution is the proposed response to Stuart Lynn's request.

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

Whereas the stability of the DNS depends on the quality of the nameserver
information contained in the zones at all levels of the DNS hierarchy.

Whereas Stuart Lynn and Vint Cerf have written to the Names Council 
on 21 September seeking the opinion of the Names Council on the 
suggestion to ask the Committee on Security and Stability
(http://www.icann.org/committees/security/) to develop a recommendation on
the most sound technical practices to follow to improve the DNS data quality
at all levels in the system,

2.htm

Whereas the responsibility of the DNS data quality is
a shared responsibility, which comes in addition to the core IANA function,
and methods to improve the DNS data quality need to consider the increased
cost on Registries and Registrars and Registrants altogether, in the TLD
space.


The Names Council resolves that:

The ICANN Board should ask the Committee on Security and Stability to work
cooperatively with the ICANN staff responsible for performing the IANA
function, the TLD managers, and registrars, to develop a
recommendation on the most sound technical practices to follow to improve
the DNS data quality at all levels of the DNS hierarchy.
