==Root Zone Operational Changes==

On February 3, 2009, the [[ICANN Board]] enumerated the upcoming operational changes that will be implemented in the DNS root zone such as the addition of IPV6 records to the root, new generic top level domains ([[gTLD]]s, new country code Internationalized Domain Names ([[cc IDN]]s), [[IDN]]s, and the implementation of [[DNSSEC]]. In connection to the anticipated root zone operational changes, the Board requested SSAC and RSSAC to hold a joint study to analyze its impact to the stability and security to the DNS root server system. Furthermore, the Board requested both the committees to identify the capacity and scaling of the root server system to be able to solve any  technical and operational challenges that might take place when the proposed changes are implemented. <ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/prelim-report-03feb09.htm ICANN Special Board Meeting]</ref>
