Subject: [DNSOP] Last Call: <draft-ietf-dnsop-attrleaf-fix-04.txt> (DNS Attrleaf Changes: Fixing Specifications with Underscored Node Name Use) to Best Current Practice

From: The IESG <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 11 Sep 2018 12:27:50 -0700

The IESG has received a request from the Domain Name System Operations WG
(dnsop) to consider the following document: - 'DNS Attrleaf Changes: Fixing
Specifications with Underscored Node Name
   Use'
  <draft-ietf-dnsop-attrleaf-fix-04.txt> as Best Current Practice

PLEASE NOTE: The draft-ietf-dnsop-attrleaf-fix and 
draft-ietf-dnsop-attrleaf documents are very closely related. Please
read **both** of them when commenting.

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final
comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
[email-masked] mailing lists by 2018-09-25. Exceptionally, comments may be
sent to [email-masked] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of
the Subject line to allow automated sorting.

Abstract

   Original uses of an underscore character as a domain node name
   prefix, which creates a space for constrained interpretation of
   resource records, were specified without the benefit of an IANA
   registry.  This produced an entirely uncoordinated set of name-
   creation activities, all drawing from the same namespace.  A registry
   now has been defined.  However the existing specifications that use
   underscore naming need to be modified, to be in line with the new
   registry.  This document specifies those changes.  The changes
   preserve existing software and operational practice, while adapting
   the specifications for those practices to the newer underscore
   registry model.
