Study reducing the priming response size (from recommendation 4 of RSSAC028): RSSAC should study having a specific upper limit on the size of priming responses where the query has DO=1.

Research what a rogue operator could do
What could an RSO do if they went rogue?
What could the other RSOs do?
What could RSSAC or ICANN do?
Risks and mitigations
Types of rogue operators: Someone announcing an RSO’s IP space; Alt-roots; Alterations to root zone data (e.g., root-servers.net, unsigned TLDs)

Best current practices for hosting root instances
Physical requirements of hosting nodes
Could also include co-locating multiple letters at the same location
Routing requirements and BGP advertisements are a sticking point.		Abdulkarim Oloyede

Develop a tool to gather local perspective on root servers
A tool that can be used by the user to try and determine the level of service that is available at their current spot.
A tool that can measure/discover which areas of the world are currently underserved in order to help root server operators determine where to deploy new instances.
Gathers metrics.

Service Coverage of The root Server System: This has been suggested earlier but suspended
8
The scope as stated on the documnet are Scope
The RSSAC Caucus Service Coverage Work Party will be asked to research service
coverage of root servers within the following scope:
1. Explore the concept of accessibility to the Root Server System (RSS). What
indicators, performance factors and coverage define adequate and/or inadequate
service by the RSS? What factors influence the risk of service degradation or
outage? What are the thresholds that define adequate service?
2. Suggest procedures and/or provide tools that can be used to determine poor
service coverage areas, or areas susceptible to high risk of loss of service.
3. Identify poor service coverage areas. Given results from the two previous bullets,
the RSSAC would appreciate assistance with identifying actual areas where the
current RSS provides insufficient service.
4. Given the results from the full analysis, what recommendations would the RSSAC
Caucus provide the RSOs and the Internet community to enhance the service
coverage of the RSS.
