[DNSOP] Re: DNSOP Split & Leadership Change

["Eric Vyncke (evyncke)" <[e-mail]>]

While I like bike shedding (notably about WG names) as much as everyone, let's aim to have draft charters for DNSOP & DNS Doe (like John Doe for now) for discussion during the DNSOP session at IETF-127.

This is doable and should be our aim, after all, the problem space is well-known, and the split should be clear.

So, Jim, the pressure is on you to have draft charters with open discussion on [e-mail] 😉 Big thank you in advance for leading this effort !

Thanks to all in advance, chartering is as much fun as finding a WG name with everyone having their own views.

Subject: DNSOP Split & Leadership Change

Hi all,

As indicated in IETF#126 [1], we will be starting implementing the main recommendation from the DNS community consultation [2]: split DNSOP into two WGs. As for now, Éric (INT AD) will be the responsible AD for the new DNS INT WG.

After consultation with DNSOP Chairs, we decided the following:


  *   Keep DNSOP as a name for the OPS WG
  *   DNSOP will keep running the DNSDISPATCH function
     *   DNSOP Chairs will circulate a draft for DNSDISPATCH process part for review and refinement.
     *   The process proposal will take into consideration draft-hardaker-dns-wgs-at-ietf#section-3.
  *   In order to help with the transition and maintain coordination already in place:
     *   Ondrej (current DNSOP Co-Chair) will be appointed as a Co-Chair of the future INT WG + step down from chairing DNSOP when the new INT WG is active.
     *   Peter Thomassen is appointed as a new DNSOP Chair (effective immediately).
     *   Jim Reid will remain DNSOP Tech Advisor and Shumon Huque DNSOP WG Secretary.
  *   Both WG charters will be discussed and finalized in sync here in DNSOP:
     *   Jim Reid kindly accepted to hold the pen for editing the charters of both WGs.
     *   Jim will share more details about proposed scopes and planning to finalize the charters.
     *   The name of the future INT DNS WG will be discussed as well.

This is an important change and we count on you all to help put this on track.

Special thanks to Wes/Joe/Lars-Johan for capturing the community feedback. Thanks also to Tommy Jensen for contributing to define the plan above.

Cheers,
Éric & Med
