Surely IANA has the power to compel a root server operator to abide by policy or they lose the right to be a root server?To compel? No. Not in the slightest. That is not how the root server system works. This is a (very) common misconception.
Can you explain how it would work? Say you have a root server operator who starts messing up, is there any ability to remove them?
There has been some effort to create a governance model for the root server system (see https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/rssac-037-15jun18-en.pdf) but I believe it has gotten bogged down in the question of “what do you do when a root server operator isn’t doing the job ‘right’ (whatever that means and after figuring out who decides) but doesn’t want to give up being a root server operator?”.
Seems like a good policy, 6.3 seems to cover how to fix technical issues with a root operator.
It’s a hard question, but it isn't the folks at IANA who answer it.
Who does? Doesn't IANA designate root servers and the . zone? -- Bryan Fields 727-409-1194 - Voice http://bryanfields.net
