Description of Working Group:
DNS was originally specified in RFC's 1034 and 1035, with subsequent
updates. Within the scope of this WG are DNS protocol issues,
including the specification of message formats, message handling, and
data formats used for DNS client-server and server-server
communication.
This WG is focused on advancing the zone transfer, update, notify
and DNSSECbis documents to Draft standard.
The WG works on solutions for DNSSEC deployment issues that may
require protocol modifications. Two of these issues are identified
and are worked on under the umbrella of this WG. 1] (a) method(s) to
prevent the possibility of trivial zone enumeration and 2] a method
for automated rollover of trust-anchors configured in validating
resolvers.
Issues surrounding the operation of DNS, recommendations concerning
the configuration of DNS servers, and other issues with the use of
the protocol are out of scope for this Working Group. These issues
are considered in other venues, such as the DNS Operations Working
Group.
The DNSEXT Working Group sometimes uses an additional mailing list
for discussion of DNS Security related issues. This list is open to
all

The 2535bis document set was edited by a team. This team was
chartered with making editorial changes only, with all substantiative
changes discussed on the WG list. The archive of this editors-only
mailing list is available at:
http://www.east.isi.edu/projects/DNSSEC
Specific work items are:
o Advance the DNSSECbis document set through the standards
process.
o Clarification of RFC1034/1035 relating to DNSEXT ongoing work.
+ Clarification of wildcard processing rules.
o After the work items above have been completed the working
group will continue on reviewing the following existing
proposed standard and examine if there is a possibility to
progress them on the standards track.
+ RFC1995 (IXFR) to Draft standard.
+ RFC1996 (Notify) to Draft standard.
+ RFC2136bis (Dynamic Update) to Draft Standard.
+ RFC2181 (Clarify) to IESG for advancement to Draft Standard.
+ RFC2308 (Neg Caching) to Draft Standard.
+ RFC2671 (EDNS0) to Draft Standard.
+ RFC2672 (DNAME) to Draft Standard, or revision.
+ RFC2845 (TSIG)to Draft standard.
+ RFC2930 (TKEY) to Draft standard.
+ RFC3007 (Secure Update) to Draft standard.
+ RFC3645 GSS/TSIG to Draft Standard
+ RFC3??? AXFR clarify to Draft Standard.
o Identify (a) method(s) to prevent the possibility of trivial
zone enumeration.
o Define a method for automated rollover of trust-anchors
configured in validating resolvers.
o Foster the development of Link Local Multicast Name
Resolution (LLMNR) standard. The WG has taken up this work
since LLMNR it is very similar to the DNS protocol. LLMNR is
targeted as proposed standard.
The lifetime of the group is set by the work items above but while
these are ongoing the working group has additional tasks:
o Reviewing and providing recommendations about the specification,
by other working groups, of RR types that do not require any
special processing and that do not require any special naming
conventions.
