Hello,
 I presented draft-many-dnsop-dns-isolated-networks Tuesday at the end of dnsop 
meeting. Thanks for letting me present. Wanted to come back to a few points 
raised. 

- About use cases, I see the dnsop Zulip chat that some people were interested 
in the topic, noting about additional use cases (antarctic for example). I 
guess I did not touched enough on this because of limited time, but there are 
many « mostly isolated, often unconnected » networks use cases being discussed 
in various wgs. I think the best place to see those are in the Time-Varying 
Routing wg requirements and use cases documents (draft-ietf-tvr-requirements, 
draft-ietf-tvr-use-cases). Examples such as solar energy powered networks, 
power savings networks, remote networks, many are the resource constrained 
networks where connectivity is not permanent, others having dynamic 
reachability. These drafts were not written for the purpose of DNS, but 
routing, but they all applied almost as is to the need of what is discussed in 
the isolated-networks draft.
- local names: as these networks are in fact sometimes connected (sometimes 
meaning more than exceptional), names need to be global so that both networks 
are able to resolve names. Local scope names may be in addition to global 
names, but not a replacement. 
- while some use cases like deepspace will take time to be deployed, those 
organizations involved are planning years ahead and need stable technical 
references that are used as requirements to vendors, RFPs, designs, etc…. In 
fact, it is useful now. Some other use cases could benefit it right away for 
implementing.

Regards, Marc.
