Who actually shaped the debate?
Policy evolution
Rationale / Summary Scope · The scope of the policy change was narrowed from 'global critical infrastructure providers' to specifically 'DNS root server operators (RSOs)'.
Exception Text · The exception clause was modified to specify 'DNS root server operators (RSOs)' instead of the broader 'organizations outside the region which provide global critical internet infrastructure'. The phrasing regarding the purpose ('operating global anycast DNS root service') was also added.
