I don't know of any official requirements. But RFCs 2182 and 2870
offer good guidance. (Some of 2870 is root zone-specific, but most of
it would apply to a ccTLD server.)

It is perhaps instructive to note that when RFC 2870 was written, (most of)
the roots also hosted COM,NET,ORG. Considered properly, RFC 2870 is
more targeted toward gTLD servers. ccTLDs have a moderately different
focus, while root servers are distinct from either in their requirements.

It is perhaps instructive to note that when RFC 2870 was written, (most of)
the roots also hosted COM,NET,ORG. Considered properly, RFC 2870 is
more targeted toward gTLD servers. ccTLDs have a moderately different
focus, while root servers are distinct from either in their requirements.

So how does the operation of gTLD servers differ from ccTLD servers, other
than perhaps more focus on geographical diversity?
