Description of Working Group:

DNS was originally specified in RFC's 1034 and 1035, with subsequent
updates. Within the scope of this WG are DNS protocol issues,
including the specification of message formats, message handling, and
data formats used for DNS client-server and server-server
communication.

This WG is focused on advancing the zone transfer, update and notify
documents to Draft standard and on the rewrite of the DNSSEC proposed
standard.

Issues surrounding the operation of DNS, recommendations concerning
the configuration of DNS servers, and other issues with the use of
the protocol are out of scope for this Working Group. These issues
are considered in other venues, such as the DNS Operations Working
Group.

Specific work items are:

o Protocol clarifications and corrections for DNSSEC, initially
these clarifications will be done as separate RFCs that will
later be folded into a document that we refer to as the RFC
2535bis document standard. These include changes that
simplify the operation of DNSSEC.

o Generate new specification documents of DNSSEC (the RFC
2535bis document set) that includes all changes to RFC2535.
This includes the following RFCs 2931, 3007, 3008, 3090 and
3226 and a number of Internet Drafts including DS,
AD-is-secure, Key Signing Flag, etc. Advance this document
set through the standards process.

o Clarification of RFC1034/1035 relating to DNSEXT ongoing work.
+ Clarification of wildcard processing rules.
+ Case Insensitivity Clarification.

o After the work items above have been completed the working
group will continue on reviewing the following existing
proposed standard and examine if there is a possibility to
progress them on the standards track.
+ RFC1995 (IXFR) to Draft standard.
+ RFC1996 (Notify) to Draft standard.
+ RFC2136bis (Dynamic Update) to Draft Standard.
+ RFC2181 (Clarify) to IESG for advancement to Draft Standard.
+ RFC2308 (Neg Caching) to Draft Standard.
+ RFC2671 (EDNS0) to Draft Standard.
+ RFC2845 (TSIG)to Draft standard.
+ RFC2930 (TKEY) to Draft standard.
+ RFC3007 (Secure Update) to Draft standard.
+ RFC3??? AXFR clarify to Draft Standard.
+ RFC3??? GSS/TSIG to Draft Standard

o Foster the development of Link Local Multicast Name
Resolution (LLMNR) standard. The WG has taken up this work
since LLMNR it is very similar to the DNS protocol. LLMNR is
targeted as proposed standard.

The lifetime of the group is set by the work items above but while
these are ongoing the working group has additional tasks:

o Reviewing and providing recommendations about the
specification, by other working groups, of RR types that
do not require any special processing and that do not require
any special naming conventions.
