Subject: [homenet] SECOND Last Call: <draft-ietf-homenet-front-end-naming-delegation-26.txt> (Simple Provisioning of Public Names for Residential Networks) to Experimental RFC

The IESG has received a request from the Home Networking WG (homenet) to
consider the following document: - 'Simple Provisioning of Public Names for
Residential Networks'
  <draft-ietf-homenet-front-end-naming-delegation-26.txt> as Experimental RFC

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final
comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
last-call@ietf.org mailing lists by 2023-01-31. Exceptionally, comments may
be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning
of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.

Abstract


   Home network owners may have devices or services hosted on their home
   network that they wish to access from the Internet (i.e., from a
   network outside of the home network).  Home networks are increasingly
   numbered using IPv6 addresses, which in principle makes this access
   simpler, but their access from the Internet requires the names and IP
   addresses of these devices and services to be made available in the
   public DNS.

   This document describes how an Home Naming Authority (NHA) instructs
   the outsourced infrastructure to publish these pieces of information
   in the public DNS.  The names and IP addresses of the home network
   are set in the Public Homenet Zone by the Homenet Naming Authority
   (HNA), which in turn instructs an outsourced infrastructure to
   publish the zone on behalf of the home network owner.

As a follow-up of the IESG telechat on the 5th of January 2023, it was decided by *all* the authors to change the intended status to experimental. Of course, this does not prevent a future -bis with a 'proposed standard' intended status leveraging the experience gained by implementations and experimentations.

The change of intended status requires another IETF Last Call, so please review and comment on this document if not yet done (bearing in mind the experimental intended status).

NB: this will also create a 'downref' for draft-ietf-homenet-naming-architecture-dhc-options per RFC 8067.
