</div>
<div>That's a good question.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>If the problem were with BIZ servers, the contact would be the
registry. For the root servers through I understand there is an
arms-length independence, which is why I wouldn't have reported
anything to IANA. (I did look at the IANA pages for a list of
contacts, but then remembered that the root operators aren't that
close to IANA.)</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>At one time one operator pointed to root-servers.org as a page of
information (when the question of the day was about anycast) but
another operator said it wasn't "official". When the
latter was asked for an anuthoritative page, nothing was mentioned.
Eventually I was told that there was a URL to a page inside the ICANN
web site.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I'm not saying that to point fingers, but to say, I really don't
know.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>If I needed to know in a pinch, I'd first look at the IANA web
site, as it is the root registry. Whether or not politically
acceptable, that would be the place I'd go as an operator. So -
that's my answer, www.iana.org/"root operations"</div>

<div>>There's an RSSAC meeting this coming Sunday. If there are
ideas on how to</div>
<div>>make this better, that would be a good place to talk about
them.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>My impression is that the meeting is invitation only.
Seriously, I don't know if I would attend, but I never give it a
thought because when I was once an attendee, I was told I was invited
as a representative of an RIR. (Is the location on an agenda
page?)</div>
