Unfortunately, my trip was even a bit shorter than I planned. My plane arrived late enough that I missed half of the IEPG meeting, which began with a DNSSEC talk from IANA. As of today, there are no slides available on IEPG's web site, so I'll have to wait to comment on this. After I arrived there was a talk by Rodney Joffe and John Kristoff on open resolver statistics, the slides for this too are not yet available.
A non-DNS talk I would like to mention is one by Randy Bush, for which there is a URL: http://www.iepg.org/2007-07-ietf69/070722.v6-op-reality.pdf. In particular there are DNS comments on slide 23.
The ENUM WG was supposed to be meeting for the final time at this IETF meeting, but the WG has found a reason to continue on and plans now to meet in December (Vancouver, BC, CA). The one cross-WG activity between ENUM and DNSEXT, the application for a new RR type EBL, was dropped in favor of a DNAME-based solution. There was quite a bit of talk about the enumservices application process in general, a process that is necessary to be in place before the WG can really shut down - or go into hibernation.
The DNSOP WG also met and is not showing signs of slowing down. The WG discussed a number of active drafts. Most of the topics are related to the management of DNS servers or trying to document past practices. It is becoming quite apparent that there is a lot of DNS folklore that has never been committed to documents. One of the questions I raised was what did the group think needed to be done to address the shortcomings of IPv6 in the DNS. For the most part, DNS is capable of IPv6 support but still there are very few registrations using IPv6. I asked - but there was no support for looking at this.
The DNSEXT WG did not meet and does not plan to meet. That group's mailing list is mostly discussing how to say "we are dormant and are not doing anything." When the only activity is to demonstrate your laziness, well, it's time to retire I guess. ;)
I said there was a third meeting I attended, but that meeting (SPEERMINT) has nothing to do with DNS.
The following weekend was the OARC meeting also in Chicago. I did not attend that, perhaps someone who stayed for the whole IETF might want to make comments on that.
Until I get more detail on the IEPG meeting or the OARC meeting...BTW, APNIC 24 is being held in a month in New Delhi. See this for more information:
http://www.apnic.net/meetings/24/Don't forget SANOG 10, held the same week in the same venue. There won't be a DNS SIG specific meeting, but I hope to see as many of you there are can make it.
