This proposal was presented at APNIC 22 and was accepted by consensus.

The proposal is now submitted to the Policy SIG mailing list for an eight-week discussion period. At the end of that period, if consensus appears to have been achieved, the Chair of the Policy SIG will ask the Executive Council to endorse the proposal for implementation.

Proposal details ____________________

This proposal modifies the definition of lame DNS to be consistent with the definitions used by the other RIRs. Under the proposal, if a delegated nameserver for a domain fails to return a valid authoritative answer for the domain’s SOA, it will be considered to be lame. The proposal also simplifies the process for monitoring and removing lame reverse DNS delegations.
