The IESG has no problem with the publication of 'Overview of Email DNSBL Best Practise' <draft-irtf-asrg-bcp-blacklists-10.txt> as an Informational RFC. The IESG wants to make the IRSG aware of its concern that there is a potential for confusion between the IETF "Best Current Practice" (BCP) series and the use of the term "Best Practise" in the title and the abstract as well as the use of the acronym "BCP" in the page header of each page and in sections 1.2 and 3.6. Anything that the IRSG can do to avoid this confusion would be appreciated. The IESG would also like the IRSG to review the comments in the datatracker (http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-irtf-asrg-bcp-blacklists/) related to this document and determine whether or not they merit incorporation into the document. Comments may exist in both the ballot and the comment log.

This memo summarizes guidelines of accepted best practise for the management of public DNSBLs by their operators as well as for the proper use of such lists by mail server administrators (DNSBL users), and it provides useful background for both parties. It is not intended to advise on the utility or efficacy of particular DNSBLs or the DNSBL concept in general, nor to assist end users with questions about spam. Working Group Summary This document is a product of the Anti-Spam Research Group and represents the consensus of that group. Document Quality This document is a research publication of the IRTF.

IESG Note The IESG has concluded that this work is related to IETF work done in the MARF WG and the as-yet-unchartered REPUTE BOF, but this relationship does not prevent publishing. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
