+ | ====== Tier 1 and 2 Server Operator Policies ====== | ||
+ | As of November 15, 2017, server operators must adhere to the following policies. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Tier 1 Operators ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Tier 1 Operators (the DNS Administrators for each TLD) are expected to maintain some key components of the infrastructure. Failure to meet the following minimum requirements may result in the appointment of a temporary maintainer for your DNS space, removal of your Tier 1 server, or removal of your TLD from the OpenNIC namespace. All action subject to a community discussion and vote. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Tier 1 Operators: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * MUST be able to keep their server up-to-date and compliant with the OpenNIC infrastructure specification, | ||
+ | * MUST be accessible for communication from both the public and private email address(es) listed on their community member profile. | ||
+ | * MUST be able to maintain reasonable uptime for their servers, unless they can explain exceptional circumstances on a Mailing List discussion thread and temporarily disable their server listing. | ||
+ | * MUST operate their server indefinitely. | ||
+ | * SHOULD be actively operating a TLD. Tier 1 servers without a corresponding TLD should immediately be considered for removal, unless they provide some other functionality or utility outside the operation of an independent zone. | ||
+ | * SHOULD be available on the #opennic IRC channel on Freenode, for immediate alerts to issues that may be time-sensitive. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Tier 2 Operators ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Tier 2 Operators (DNS Resolvers) are expected to maintain some minimum specifications for a long-term period of time to maintain stability. This section only applies to operators running public servers listed on servers.opennic.org. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Tier 2 Operators: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * MUST be able to keep their server up-to-date and compliant with the OpenNIC infrastructure specification, | ||
+ | * MUST be able to receive automated alerts to the private email listed on their community member profile. | ||
+ | * MUST be willing to make every attempt to operate their servers in the long-term (1+ years), barring extraordinary circumstances. | ||
+ | * MUST NOT block any otherwise valid DNS requests, unless the Blacklisting flag is set on their public listing. | ||
+ | * SHOULD NOT log any personally identifiable data for users of their servers. | ||
+ | * SHOULD NOT operate from a country that censors web content. | ||
+ | * OPTIONALLY be available on the #opennic IRC channel on Freenode, for immediate alerts to issues that may be time-sensitive. |
