Technical Summary

   Enabling support for automatic acceptance of DNSSEC Delegation Signer
   (DS) parameters from the Child DNS operator (via RFCs 7344, 8078,
   9615) requires the parental agent, often a registry or registrar, to
   make a number of technical decisions around acceptance checks, error
   and sucess reporting, and multi-party issues such as concurrent
   updates.  This document describes recommendations about how these
   points are best addressed in practice.

Working Group Summary

   The DNS operations working group has a very broad membership, with
   varying interests in different topics. The deliberations and consensus
   on this draft was largely driven by a smaller subset of individuals
   that are involved in the topic area in both IETF and relevant industry
   circles (ICANN, ccTLD world, etc.). This was largely to be expected, so
   this was not seen as an obstacle to achieving consensus.

Document Quality

   This work has been socialized for wider input in a variety of
   fora (like ICANN CPH TechOps, APTLD 88, ROW 14, CENTR
   Tech 53, DNS OARC 45, and ICANN 84).

   As indicated in the wrietup, there are a reasonable number of organizations
   (ccTLDs mostly) that have developed many of the mechanisms in this document,
   with a few others in the pipeline.

Personnel

   The Document Shepherd for this document is Shumon Huque.
   The Responsible Area Director is Mohamed Boucadair.
