Re: [dbound] The Fate of DBOUND

["Paul Hoffman" <[e-mail]>]

Andrew has suggested that SOPA be published as an experimental RFC, and 
Casey asked why shouldn't ODUP be published also. It would be a vast 
disservice if they were progressed differently, and if 
draft-levine-dbound-dns wasn't treated the same way.

Proposal: the WG stays open, there is a near-immediate WG Last Call on 
all three protocol documents in order to collect a last round of 
editorial and technical (not design) comments, and then all three are 
moved to Alexey for AD-sponsored as Experimental. That does include an 
IETF Last Call and IESG review, but Alexey can cover that. (This is 
assuming that Alexey is willing to do this.)

On this, I disagree with Andrew. The problem statement document hasn't 
been touched in over six months and I think has many use cases that 
probably do not have consensus. We would need to do a bunch more work 
(hopefully culling) that I don't think we have the energy to.

It is not the IETF way, but publishing a couple of related experimental 
protocols that have only their own internal problem statements seems 
better to me than hoping we have enough energy to agree on a single 
statement.
