Speaking just for myself I feel that ICANN has no authority policy or otherwise to tell authoritative server operators down the chain what to do.
Is it important in the larger scheme of internet governance, yes!! But not within the ICANN sphere and thus not for the NCSG.

James,

While I tend to agree that RPZ as a specific technology is mostly out of ICANN's bailiwick, can we agree that widespread filtering of specific domains is still probably something to track?

For example, if we discover that certain TLD are heavily blocked by ISP then that may indicate some underlying problem with the way the TLD is used.

Or if ICANN discovers that an IDN TLD is likely to be blocked then this seems like something that matters to ICANN and its stakeholders.

Certainly if the NCSG has a reason to think that technology will be used against its stakeholders than the NCSG has reason to be concerned and investigate, IMHO.

Cheers,
