The IESG has received a request from the Domain Name System Operations WG (dnsop) to consider the following document: - 'DNS Terminology' <draft-ietf-dnsop-terminology-bis-11.txt> as Best Current Practice The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2018-08-13. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract The domain name system (DNS) is defined in literally dozens of different RFCs. The terminology used by implementers and developers of DNS protocols, and by operators of DNS systems, has sometimes changed in the decades since the DNS was first defined. This document gives current definitions for many of the terms used in the DNS in a single document. This document will be the successor to RFC 7719, and thus will obsolete RFC 7719. It will also update RFC 2308. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsop-terminology-bis/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsop-terminology-bis/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. The document contains these normative downward references.
