[dns-wg] WG response to root scaling studies

[Jim Reid jim@localhost]

<WG co-chair hat on>
Colleagues, we're on the brink of some major changes to the root  
server system. ICANN may well take some landmark decisions on this at  
their meeting at the end of the month. My personal opinion is there is  
a short (and closing) window for the WG to influence the decisions  
that may be taken in Seoul. Although yesterday's discussion on the  
root scaling studies at the WG raised a number of issues, I didn't get  
a sense that the WG was coalescing around a particular point of view.
So here are my questions:

[1] Do you think we should try to send some sort of statement to ICANN  
that could be fed into its decision-making machinery? Should this be  
done for the Seoul meeting?
[2] If the answers to [1] are "yes" what sorts of things should be in  
that statement?
[3] If the answers to [1] are no, is there anything that this WG  
should be doing about making some response to the scaling study reports?
Please note too that some of the usual suspects amongst the WG members  
may be unable/unwilling to comment publicly because of potential  
conflicts of interest.
