We recently shared an important update on the ICANN consultation on a proposed “Functional Model” for governance of the DNS root server system:

We think this is of particular interest to the DNS community and I encourage you to review the details and consider providing comments to ICANN via the Consultation Public Comment page.

Best regards,
