Ed Lewis will be giving a presentation at the WG next week on ARIN's proposals for checking DNS delegations. I've passed a copy of his slides to RIPE NCC for their comments. [This could well turn out to be a subject that RIRs might want to co-ordinate or establish a commpn policy.] The slides probably won't be on the RIPE web site until after WG, so apologies that the detail isn't available yet.
APNIC are also considering a similar policy; we are currently soliciting feedback on some of these issues on APNIC's sig-dns mailing list, following George Michaelson's draft policy paper which was presented in Taipei: http://www.apnic.net/meetings/15/sigs/dns/docs/dns-pres-ggm-sweep-lame- dns.ppt http://www.apnic.net/meetings/15/sigs/dns/docs/dns-doc-ggm-lame-dns1.doc There are some differences between this proposal (above) and the work that Ed has been doing. I think there is interest at APNIC in converging on a single RIR-wide policy, or at least on a set of RIR policies which are mutually compatible, which is why I thought I'd mention that this is an active topic for us.
