[sig-dns] DNS discussion
At the last APNIC meeting I was elected/appointed as the new chair
for this SIG. The SIG hasn't had a lot of email traffic recently but
we do seem to manage to fill up our in-person agendas quite well.
One of the things I would like to do is stir up some activity on this
mailing list. There are a lot of lists active on the topic of DNS
and I think that there is much to discuss.
To start I want to present the charter for the group. The text of it
is short, here it is:
"The charter of the DNS operations SIG is to examine developments in
policies and procedures for reverse DNS operations in the Asia
Pacific region. It will include topics such as reverse delegations
for IPv6 networks, dynamic updates, secure DNS, current DNS software
versions, and legacy transfers from other databases."
One question I would like feedback on is whether we want to discuss
ENUM as part of this. ENUM is a reverse mapping of telephone
numbers. There is a public ENUM tree starting at e164.arpa., this is
managed by the RIPE NCC.
As the new chair I am eager to get to know the participants. I have
no view now into the subscriber list (but I think that I can get
that), but a list doesn't tell me too much about the people on it. I
know it may be embarrassing to introduce your self to the list, but I
would appreciate any introduction you might want to give me in
private email. What I am seeking are the interesting issues folks
feel should be discussed.
In the future, I feel it is my job to help start conversation and
discussion. What I will do is send periodic reports of DNS
discussions I come across while attending various meetings and from
various lists I read. Perhaps this will just be informative, but one
thing we should be looking for, as per the charter, is any effect the
activity has on policies for APNIC.
Thanks for your time and interest, I hope to hear from folks!
