Dear WG,

as you might have seen on the agenda for tomorrow's meeting we'd like to
discuss the rechartering of the dnsop WG. This is a text for the general
mission statement, slightly adjusting the focus:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The DNS Operations Working Group will develop and review guidelines for the
correct, efficient and secure configuration of DNS authoritative servers,
resolvers, and DNSSEC validators. Target audiences for those guidelines
are zone administrators as well as software developers who provide tools
for DNS zone administration or server/resolver/validator configuration.

The group will perform the following activities:

1) develop or review guidelines for chosing zone configuration
   parameters that affect inter-server or server-resolver communication,
   including but not limited to SOA RR parameters, TTL values, and glue
   information

2) develop or review guidelines for any DNSSEC specific operational
   parameters, such as key length or key validity periods

3) develop or review operational guidelines that address the specifics of
   IPv4/v6 coexistence and transition

4) review the use of existing DNS frameworks (SRV, DDDS) in other protocols,
   especially focussing on operational consequences and scalability

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The old charter can be found at 
<http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/dnsop-charter.html>

Please send comments to this list, during tomorrows session or on jabber
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2120-2320 UTC. We'll have to talk about
milestones.

-Peter
