Proposal Format To facilitate efficiency and consistency in proposal evaluation, the following guidance is mandatory. Proposals which do not follow this guidance may be rejected as non-responsive and thus ineligible for award.
File Format Standard Registry Operator (optionally through the CZDA Provider) will provide zone files using a subformat of the standard Master File format as originally defined in XXX 0000, Section 5, including all the records present in the actual zone used in the public DNS. Sub-format is as follows: Each record must include all fields in one line as: <domain-name> <TTL> <class> <type> <RDATA>. Class and Type must use the standard mnemonics and must be in lower case. TTL must be present as a decimal integer. Use of /X and /DDD inside domain names is allowed. All domain names must be in lower case. Must use exactly one tab as separator of fields inside a record. All domain names must be fully qualified. No $ORIGIN directives. No use of “@” to denote current origin. No use of “blank domain names” at the beginning of a record to continue the use of the domain name in the previous record. No $INCLUDE directives. No $TTL directives. No use of parentheses, e.g., to continue the list of fields in a record across a line boundary. No use of comments. No blank lines. The SOA record should be present at the top and (duplicated at) the end of the zone file. With the exception of the SOA record, all the records in a file must be in alphabetical order. One zone per file. If a TLD divides its DNS data into multiple zones, each goes into a separate file named as above, with all the files combined using tar into a file called <tld>.zone.tar.
Alternate Directors (a) Subject to the remainder of this Section 8.12, each Class A Member entitled to nominate one or more Directors shall be entitled to nominate an alternate for each such Director that such Class A Member is entitled to nominate (each such alternate, an “Alternate Director”), who shall be deemed elected as such and shall have the right to serve, act and vote as a Director in the absence of the principal Director from time to time. Such Alternate Director shall be permitted to attend all meetings of the Board even if the principal Director is present at such meetings. If a principal Director is present at a meeting, the Alternate Director for such Director shall attend as an observer, shall not be counted towards the quorum at such meeting, and shall not have the right to act or vote as a Director at such meeting. If a principal Director is not present at a meeting, the Alternate Director for such Director shall attend as a full Director and be entitled to vote and act as a Director at such meeting and shall be counted toward the quorum at such meeting. If a principal Director attends a meeting, is counted toward the quorum, and, thereafter (i) recuses himself or herself from a vote on any particular matter, the Alternate Director for such Director, if present at such meeting, shall be allowed to vote as a Director on such matter, or (ii) leaves such meeting, the Alternate Director for such Director, if present at such meeting, shall sit as a Director for the remainder of such meeting, subject, in each case, to the provisions of Section 8.16 which would prohibit such Alternate Director from voting on a particular matter. (b) If a Class A Member ceases to have the right to nominate a Director as provided in this Agreement, any Alternate Director nominated by such Class A Member shall immediately cease to be an Alternate Director. (c) The Company shall provide to each Alternate Director copies of all notices, board materials, reports, minutes and consents at the time and in the manner as they are provided to the Directors; provided that each Alternate Director shall be subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth in Section 11.1. (d) The provisions of Section 8.4(c), Section 8.4(d) and Section 8.8 shall apply to Alternate Directors, mutatis mutandis, as if the references to Directors therein were references to Alternate Directors. (e) The initial Alternate Directors for the initial principal Directors shall be as set forth on Exhibit B.
