The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Clarifications and Implementation Notes for DNSSEC' (draft-ietf-dnsext-dnssec-bis-updates-20.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the DNS Extensions Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Ralph Droms and Brian Haberman. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsext-dnssec-bis-updates/ Technical Summary DNSSECbis was published in RFC 4033, RFC 4034, and RFC 4035. Since the publication, some people filed errata against those documents, some additional developments added to DNSSECbis, and some implementation experience illustrated ambiguities or issues with the original texts. This draft collects those issues in a single place, updating the DNSSECbis specification and clarifying it where need be. Working Group Summary This draft is the product of the DNS Extensions Working Group. Many of the clarifications came easily. The more contentious parts of the document have been discussed at length. For the most controversial of the clarifications, extensive discussion is included in appendices so that implementers and deployers may make informed decisions. Document Quality Most, if not all, of the document is reflected in the bulk of DNSSECbis validators and signers deployed on the Internet. The document is the result of several years of experience and discussion, collected with an eye to improving implementations. One of the most contentious parts resulted in multiple rounds of discussion and a special design team meeting. The document as it stands has been refined over a long period of time, and is of high quality. Personnel Who is the Document Shepherd? Who is the Responsible Area Director?
