[ALAC] SAC097 SSAC Advisory Regarding the Centralized Zone Data Service (CZDS) and Registry Operator Monthly Activity Reports

[Julie Hammer]

Hi Everyone,

Please note that the following SSAC Report has been published:

SAC097: SSAC Advisory Regarding the Centralized Zone Data Service (CZDS) and Registry Operator Monthly Activity Reports
The Centralized Zone Data Service (CZDS) was introduced about 3 years ago to provide standardization and easy, reliable operations for participants who have a requirement to access top level domain (TLD) zone files to perform Domain Name System (DNS) research, security research, and anti-abuse operations.  The CZDS has often succeeded in these goals. However, some community members have documented problems where the CZDS does not deliver on these objectives. Policy and process difficulties have prevented subscribers from gaining and then maintaining reliable access to zone files.This Report highlights access problems which have been experienced and recommends to the ICANN Board actions which ICANN Staff could take to remediate the difficulties.

This Report is attached and can also be found on the SSAC Reports <https://www.icann.org/groups/ssac/documents> webpage.


Cheers,  Julie
