[DNSOP] Re: [Ext] draft WG chapter: 30/6/25

[Paul Hoffman <[e-mail]>]

It's good that we are thinking about the charter, but this proposal has (at least) two problems:

- "The DNSOP WG is also responsible for maintenance, updates and extensions to the DNS protocol." There has been growing discussion that there should be a DNS development (DNSDEV) working group that works on new developments; the quoted wording prevents that.

- Some of the milestones listed are for drafts that are simply in "I-D exists" state, and some have not even been adopted by the WG (and might not ever be). This WG has had a bunch of documents that, when they go to WG Last Call, are shown to have very little interest. Some of those we shove forwards with too little review, others fall out of the WG altogether. Instead of listing everything that the WG has adopted, I propose listing only those that have had lots of active participation already. I propose only "Delegation Revalidation by DNS Resolvers", "DNS IPv6 Transport Operational Guidelines", and "Clarifications on CDS/CDNSKEY and CSYNC Consistency". I do not believe that we know whether the WG can fix "Structured Error Data for Filtered DNS" enough to make the IETF want it again.
