The document, along with other ballot positions, can be found here: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsop-5966bis/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DISCUSS: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I don’t have concerns over the technical content of this document, but I do have want to raise a process-related DISCUSS. The Intended RFC Status of this document is “Internet Standard”, which seems like a logical progression from RFC5966 (Proposed Standard). However, I am concerned that the proper process was not followed: 1. RFC6410 calls for “an IETF-wide Last Call of at least four weeks”, but the LS started on Nov/23 and ended on Dec/7, 2 weeks. 2. In looking at the archives I couldn’t find any discussion about changing the maturity level. 3. It also concerns me that the changes go beyond a simple revision of the old text. For example, there are recommendations that are completely new and for topics that were not even mentioned in the original (e.g. pipelining). I may have missed the discussions in the archive. Not being a DNS expert I may also be overestimating the changes to this document. But knowing that the “document was actively discussed and reviewed” and that it “had a broad discussion as the wording of several points were more accurately described” (from the Shepherd’s write up), I think that this document may not be ready to be an Internet Standard. The obvious solution to this DISCUSS is to change the intended status to Proposed Standard. _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
