[sig-dns] Summary of DNS SIG from APNIC 20

[George Michaelson <ggm@apnic.net>]

Dear colleagues

The DNS SIG was held today during APNIC 20 in Hanoi. Joe Abley (DNS SIG
chair) was unable to attend, so I coordinated the meeting on his behalf.

This SIG was well attended with 50 participants.

Sanjaya from APNIC presented proposal [prop-030-v001] to end APNIC's  
ip6.int services. The SIG reached consensus to proceed with this  
proposal, pending approval at the remaining stages of the policy  
development process.

George Michaelson from APNIC presented details of the implementation  
of the proposal to remove lame DNS delegations, noting that to date  
the project has had  a significant positive impact. In the following  
discussion, the Secretariat agreed to gather statistics on  
undelegated domains.

Finally, Mathias Koerber made an informational presentation  
discussing the increasing demand on DNS services and calling on input  
from the Asia Pacific community to identify other potential probelms  
for DNS caching systems.

This SIG raised the following new action items:

   * dns-20-001: Pending approval at each remaining stage of
     the policy proposal process, Secretariat to implement
     proposal [prop-030-v001].

   * dns-20-002: Secretariat to gather statistics revealing
     the breakdown of ip6.int lookups and report back to the
     DNS SIG at APNIC 21.

   * dns-20-003: Secretariat to gather statistics about the
     extent of undelegated domains and report back to the DNS
     SIG at APNIC 21.

All presentations from the SIG are available from:

Minutes will be available within 1-2 weeks. In the meantime, an  
unedited transcript of the session will be published within 24 hours at:
