The IESG has received a request from an individual participant to make the following status changes: - RFC7344 from Informational to Proposed Standard (Automating DNSSEC Delegation Trust Maintenance) This standards action follows the IETF LC of draft-ietf-dnsop-maintain-ds which achieved IETF consensus as a standards tack update to RFC 7344. RFC7344 specifies how DNS trust can be maintained across key rollovers in-band between parent and child. draft-ietf-dnsop-maintain-ds elevates RFC7344 from informational to standards track and adds a standard track method for initial trust setup and removal of secure entry point. The methodology described in RFC 7344 was be widely accepted and deployed; operational experience supports this reclassification and further extension. The supporting document for this request can be found here: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/status-change-rfc7344-from-informational-to-standards-track/ The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action.
