[DNSOP] getting back to our work on special use names

[Suzanne Woolf <[e-mail]>]

Dear Colleagues,


It's time to get back to our work on special use names. As the chairs see it, here's what we need to do between now and IETF 98 (end of March).  We'll be having a DNSOP WG interim meeting shortly, see below.

1. We need to advance the problem statement document, https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsop-sutld-ps/. Please review and comment on the list. We'd like to have a WGLC on it before IETF 98.

2. Now that we have a working problem statement, we'd like to see proposals on possible changes to IETF procedures to resolve the issues we've raised. We're looking for on-list discussion, preferably with posted I-Ds.

These proposals do not have to be limited to work for the DNSOP WG; they may also include work we think belongs in other WGs, or requests to the IESG or the IAB (such as liaison statements to groups outside of the IETF).

We have had a proposal, for the ALT TLD, before us for some time now, which we put aside while we worked on the problem statement. As part of assessing solutions, we need to review https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsop-alt-tld/ and determine what the WG wants to do with it. Comments to the list, please.

3. We're scheduling an interim WG meeting during the week of January 30 for further work on this topic. We'll provide some possible days/times to the list for feedback shortly, and we can't promise to accomodate everyone's schedule constraints but will do our best.


best,
Suzanne & Tim
