Technical Check Review CPWG

For IANA-managed zones, most notably for the root zone, a suite of technical conformance tests are conducted as part of the process of evaluating change requests. IANA expects to conduct a general community consultation on the scope and definition of these tests to inform future evolution of its operational practices. The current tests were defined based on a prior community engagement exercise.

Pilot Holistic Review Revised Terms of Reference (ToR) OFB-WG

ATRT3 recommendation 3.5 called for a new Holistic Review. This proceeding is related to one opened on 30 August 2022, seeking community input on the Pilot Holistic Review Revised ToR for the eventual initiation of the Pilot Holistic Review. In response to the diverging views expressed in the previous proceeding, the OEC, on behalf of the Board, reconvened the ToR drafting team to address the comments through revisions to the document.
