Common use of Update Root Zone Clause in Contracts

Update Root Zone. The Root Zone must be updated to contain appropriate NS, DS and glue records. IANA is notified of a root zone update, performs its mandatory checks and coordinates changes with the root zone partners to ensure the change occurs. The Event Director will authorize a request to IANA for NS, DS and glue record updates in the root, which will be prepared by ICANN staff with technical data provided by the EBERO. While no specific service levels are defined, ICANN’s current understanding is that all root zone parties are both committed to 24x7 response capabilities, and that the timing commitments from those entities will facilitate (barring problems uncovered with mandatory checks) a root zone update within 4 hours of request.
