Re: [dnsext] DNSEXT closing down soon

I recognize that DNS is a core Internet technology and I appreciate the contributions of the WG to that technology over the years.  At present, it appears that the last new work was taken on the WG almost two years ago, and the remaining charter items Olafur listed in his announcement have been in process for at least two years.  Based on that level of activity and lack of new work in the WG queue, it seems to me to be appropriate to wrap up the final charter items and close down the WG.

Thanks to Ed Lewis for asking a few salient questions.  We will keep the dnsext mailing list open to provide a forum for future discussion of dnsext issues.  I would appreciate any recommendations on how to promote awareness of the dnsext mailing list.  The DNS Directorate will also continue to provide expertise, advice to other WGs and review of IETF documents.  If some issue or issues rise to the level of IETF action, e.g., the work on aliasing, we will consider chartering a single-topic WG focused on that issue.  

Ed: Can you say more about your last question?

   Are all instructions to IANA complete and understood?
