| SSAC Response to the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Policy Development Process Working Group Request Regarding Root Scaling (R-1) | SAC100 | CLOSED |
Description:
The SSAC welcomes this opportunity to provide input on the issues related to root scaling. The SSAC understands the working group’s request on 14 September 2017 to be:
1. whether the limitations on delegations per annum (1000 / year) could be revisited given the results of the Continuous Data-driven Analysis of Root Stability (CDAR) study and if so, what guidance can the SSAC provide to maintain the security and stability of the root;
2. suggestions on ways that might mitigate potential issues in the event the working group recommends to increase the maximum annual delegation rate; and
3. inputs on the total number of TLDs that could be delegated without negative impact to root server performance.
