The IESG has received a request from the Public-Key Infrastructure (X.509) WG (pkix) to consider the following document: - 'DNS Certification Authority Authorization (CAA) Resource Record' <draft-ietf-pkix-caa-15.txt> as Proposed Standard 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 2012-11-02. 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 The Certification Authority Authorization (CAA) DNS Resource Record allows a DNS domain name holder to specify one or more Certification Authorities (CAs) authorized to issue certificates for that domain. CAA resource records allow a public Certification Authority to implement additional controls to reduce the risk of unintended certificate mis-issue. This document defines the syntax of the CAA record and rules for processing CAA records by certificate issuers. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-pkix-caa/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-pkix-caa/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
