Due to some local mail-problems (sorting rules) on my side I only saw the discussion on the above draft today. Just in case some here where not in the WG meeting in Paris, I thought I should give a short summary of my presentation and the reasoning behind this.
The draft was written by me as a task from the IAB. This had been on the IAB TODO list long before I got nominated. After writing the first rough outline which is what got published under the name above I circulated it to some of the usual DNS suspects. I got a lot of feedback. Some similar to what has been echoed here, and some other. When reviewing that and trying to update the document I realised that there is actually two documents here. One on general zone operation BCP, and one on TLD operations. The first document seems reasonable to do, and a good thing to have. The second seems somewhat more hard to define. In the WG discussion I said that I wasn't sure that was a job for the IETF, and if it is, it might not be an issue for DNSOP. I said that I volunteered to work on the first document (which will be from scratch more or less) and leave the second for later or if someone stepped up.
So to summarise, the above document was a "place-holder" for the discussion. There will be a new I-D for the next IETF. It will only deal with zone operations and it will not contain the abbreviation "TLD" anywhere.
I hope that answers some questions. If you feel like I left something out from what I or anyone else said in the WG meeting in Paris, please let me know.
