[AFRINIC-rpd] policy amendment proposal

[Frank Habicht]

Hello all,

I'd like to thank everyone for the feedback I've received.
I don't want to re-write the whole policy, just "fix" what I believe was an
omission by accident.

I would like to (hopefully) improve the text like this:

"Core DNS service provider:
A core DNS service provider is an organisation based in the AfriNIC Service
Region that provides DNS service for any TLD. Up to two (2) assignments can
be made for any TLD service. Assignments are also made to support
deployment of infrastructure supporting ICANN-sanctioned root operators."

------------------------[Proposal Header]-----------------------


[1] Summary of the Problem Being Addressed by this Policy Proposal:
loosening of restriction to DNS-root server operators for IPv4 PI policy,
critical infrastructure criteria, in order to also include ccTLD and
possibly significant SLDs

[2] Summary of How this Proposal Addresses the Problem:
removal of restrictive wording

[3] Proposal (Please use sub-numbering so as to make it easy to reference
in discussions)

3.1.
I propose to replace the definition at the end of the document:
"Core DNS service provider:
 A core DNS service provider is a company who provides DNS service for the
root level of the DNS tree (ICANN-sanctioned root operators)."
with
"Core DNS service provider:
A core DNS service provider is an organisation based in the AfriNIC Service
Region that provides DNS service for any TLD. Up to two (2) assignments can
be made for any TLD service. Assignments are also made to support
deployment of infrastructure supporting ICANN-sanctioned root operators."

3.2.
I assume and understand this has always been the intention, I just believe
the current wording is too restrictive.
