Dear all: (1) The TAKREM proposal is actually made of two drafts, i.e. http://tools.ietf.org/wg/dnsext/draft-moreau-dnsext-sdda-rr-02.txt and http://tools.ietf.org/wg/dnsext/draft-moreau-dnsext-takrem-dns-02.txt (only the latter was referenced in the DNSEXT chairman message asking for comparative review of alternatives, http://ops.ietf.org/lists/namedroppers/namedroppers.2006/msg00829.html). FYI, the draft draft-moreau-dnsext-sdda-rr-02 formalized TAK lifetime management somehow, e.g. with the notion of "obituary resource record." (2) The "no derivative clause" (in draft-moreau-dnsext-takrem-dns-02 only) appeared in the document almost by accident. It pertains to IETF publishing activities (IETF document versus independent RFC submission). Under the principle of "if it's not broken, don't fix it," I have no incentive to remove it at this point in the discussions. (3) The reviews of TAK rollover alternatives (more precisely the reviews of TAK rollover alternatives that the DNSEXT wg chairmen should consider for consensus building) should abide by the instructions to consider "the requirement for non-IPR as _one_ _of_ _the_ _tradeoffs_." (http://ops.ietf.org/lists/namedroppers/namedroppers.2006/msg00370.html), which implies that the TAKREM proposal for automated TAK rollover should be reviewed. Given the intensity of prevailing IPR-aversion, I am skeptical that this will actually occur, but the DNSEXT chairman words are at stake. In this respect, Suresh deserves credit for his comprehensive analysis in http://www.dnssec-tools.org/docs/trust-anchor-comparison-v02.htm, brought to namedroppers in http://ops.ietf.org/lists/namedroppers/namedroppers.2006/msg00862.html. (4) In case someone is reluctant even to *read* a document for which an IPR claim exists, he/she might ask if such self-inflicted censorship extends to any issued patent, any publicly available patent application, and any foreign patent document for technologies in the public domain of his/her own jurisdiction.
