Since this is deploying a new EDNS(0) option, it is marked as Proposed Standard while it is deployed. Working Group Summary This document was brought to the working group and immediately found consensus. The only process issue was that this was being handled by the DPRIVE working group, and not DNSOP. It was quickly confirmed by the co-chairs and the area director of DNSOP that this document could be handled here, and there was plenty of DNS subject experts to provide expert reviews This document had wide consensus, and there was little controversy in this. Document Quality This is a well structured, well written and concise document. WG LC, and IETF LC have been uncontroversial. Personnel Document Shepherd: Tim Wicinski Area Director: Terry Manderson IANA Note Under IANA considerations, the EDNS option code '12' was assigned to this feature.
