The charter of the DNS Extensions Working group (dnsext) working group in the Internet Area of the IETF has been updated. For additional information, please contact the Area Directors or the working group Chairs. DNS Extensions Working group (dnsext) ---------------------------------------- Last Modified: 2009-09-05 Current Status: Active Working Group Chair(s): Olafur Gudmundsson <ogud@ogud.com> Andrew Sullivan <ajs@shinkuro.com> Internet Area Director(s): Ralph Droms <rdroms@cisco.com> Jari Arkko <jari.arkko@piuha.net> Internet Area Advisor: Ralph Droms <rdroms@cisco.com> Mailing Lists: General Discussion: namedroppers@ops.ietf.org To Subscribe: namedroppers-request@ops.ietf.org Archive: http://ops.ietf.org/lists/namedroppers/ Description of Working Group: The DNS has a large installed base and repertoire of protocol specifications. The DNSEXT WG group will actively advance DNS protocol-related RFCs on the standards track while thoroughly reviewing further proposed extensions. The scope of the DNSEXT WG is confined to the DNS protocol, particularly changes that affect DNS protocols "on the wire" or the internal processing of DNS data. DNS operations are out of scope for the WG. The WG will limit itself to review of proposals for new extensions and clarification to the DNS protocol, including DNSSEC. Adoption of new work targeted for standards track will require changes to this charter. The working group can nevertheless undertake work in following subjects without a charter change: DNSSEC and TSIG/TKEY algorithm maintenance Hardening DNS protocol and providing guidance to implementors Advancing existing Proposed Standard RFCs to Draft/Full Standard Obsoleting RFCs. Maintaining a Wiki containing a guide to DNS protocol RFC's. Improving DNS zone synchronization mechanisms Examining transport protocols, possibly adding new ones. Before formal adoption of any such items at least 5 working group participants must publicly state that the item is within charter and is worthwhile item for further study. The DNSEXT WG will conduct the specified RFC5395 review of RR templates as they are posted, and EDNS0 Option templates if EDNS0-bis updates registration requirements. The WG will review DNS protocol related work which may originate elsewhere in the IETF, including AD-sponsored submissions or drafts in other working group. The WG does not intend to hold face to face meetings, though may do so if deemed necessary for resolution of a specific issue at hand. Milestones: Aug 2009 TSIG/MD5 Obsoleting to IESG.
