Verisign and ICANN have renewed their agreement under which Verisign manages the DNS root, according to the company.
Verisign stated that the Root Zone Maintainer Agreement (RZMA) was renewed on October 20 for an additional eight-year term.
The RZMA is essentially a technical service contract under which Verisign updates and publishes the root zone file (a list of top-level domains and their name servers) according to ICANN’s instructions. All other root zone operators mirror this file.
This is the first renewal since ICANN gained independence from the U.S. government in 2016, though Verisign and its predecessors have been managing the root since 1993.
This agreement is separate from Verisign’s contracts to manage .com and .net.
