The DNS Extensions (dnsext) working group in the Internet Area of the IETF has been rechartered. For additional information, please contact the Area Directors or the working group Chairs. DNS Extensions (dnsext) --------------------------------------------------- Current Status: Active Working Group Chairs: Olafur Gudmundsson <ogud@ogud.com> Andrew Sullivan <ajs@shinkuro.com> Internet Area Directors: Ralph Droms <rdroms.ietf@gmail.com> Jari Arkko <jari.arkko@piuha.net> Internet Area Advisor: Ralph Droms <rdroms.ietf@gmail.com> Mailing Lists: Address: dnsext@ietf.org To Subscribe: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsext Archive: http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/dnsext/ Description of Working Group: The DNS has a large installed base and repertoire of protocol specifications. The DNSEXT working 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 consider work in the following areas: * DNSSEC and TSIG/TKEY algorithm maintenance * Mechanisms that complement, or are alternatives to, TSIG and SIG(0) * Hardening DNS protocol and providing guidance to implementers * Advancing existing DNS-related Proposed Standard RFCs to Draft/Full Standard * Obsoleting DNS-related RFCs * Improving DNS zone synchronization mechanisms * Examining transport protocols, possibly adding new ones * Mechanisms to alias DNS trees or parts thereof Before formal adoption of any work item at least 5 working group participants must publicly state that the item is within charter and is a 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. Goals and Milestones: Apr 2011 RFC3597-bis Unknown RR advanced to IESG for PS Jun 2011 DNSKEY Registry fixes and allocation procedure advanced to IESG Jun 2011 DNAME-bis to IESG Oct 2011 DNSSEC Errata document to IESG Jun 2011 EDNS0-bis update advanced to IESG Aug 2011 Algorithm signaling document to IESG Nov 2011 Requirements and current state survey document to IESG for publication Nov 2011 Decision about new protocol elements, if any Dec 2011 If new protocol elements, recharter Dec 2011 IXFR-only to IESG _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
