I'd add that two or more of the drafts discussed in the meeting last week support 5 & 6 -

   6.1) Measurements on DNSSEC Validation Performance

   6.2) "Open Resolvers"
        [chairs or volunteer][15 min][16:50]

In addition to...

Ed,

 5 - "Resolver": search approach, configuration, timing, treatment of
 certain kinds of messages.  "Resolver" meaning: iterating server,
 stub, cache, forward, etc.

that's covered in the general introductory text - and as discussed in Dallas
we'd need some terminology clarification to start with. I'd like to hear
more opinions on whether we should explicitly have a "high level work package"
like this:

5) {numbers likely to change}
   develop and review guidelines for resolver (stub and full) behaviour,
   including search path and timing issues as well as query strategies.

   (A document actually saying that 'recursive servers' ==
    'iterative resolvers' SHOULD issue queries with RD==0 only would fall
    into this basket, as would probably anything around RFC1535bis)

Oh, terminology, better yey, DNS terminology. ;) Such a work item could be justification to keep a WG around long enough to set an all-time longevity ecord. But I'd admire the effort.

This area could cover items like root-hints file management and distribution, etc. Not that this is a burning issue, but, that and other resolver configuration topics.

 6 - Performance: derive a recommended way to establish performance
 requirements and/or measurement of a server "constellation."  Include
 consideration of anycast clouds, etc.

6) establish terminology and methodology for performance measurements
   of servers, resolvers or the service as such.

   ('CNNP' comes to mind)

Yes, that I had in mind. Plus the one up above by Jakob. And others may be there, I'm sure.

 The descriptions of each area are fuzzy here in an attempt to get
 some brain-storming on this.

Text change suggestions are welcome. Thanks, Ed.
