The IESG has received a request from the Domain Name System Operations WG (dnsop) to consider the following document: - 'DNSSEC Operational Practices, Version 2' <draft-ietf-dnsop-rfc4641bis-12.txt> as Informational RFC 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 2012-08-24. 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 This document describes a set of practices for operating the DNS with security extensions (DNSSEC). The target audience is zone administrators deploying DNSSEC. The document discusses operational aspects of using keys and signatures in the DNS. It discusses issues of key generation, key storage, signature generation, key rollover, and related policies. This document obsoletes RFC 4641 as it covers more operational ground and gives more up-to-date requirements with respect to key sizes and the DNSSEC operations. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsop-rfc4641bis/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsop-rfc4641bis/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
