Dear DNS WG, here are some updates to our action item list maintained at <http://www.ripe.net/ripe/wg/dns/dns-actions.html> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 48.1 Collect experiences with lameness problems due to vanished customers or AXFR sources See slide 7 of <http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-48/presentations/ripe48-dns-mci.pdf> The discussion during RIPE 57 revealed: The survey amongst CENTR members (mostly European ccTLDs) showed that they had not seen a noticable number of requests to alter or remove DNS delegations by third parties (i.e., other than the registrar or registrant) and in general their policies would not allow them to follow such request. Very few would be able to act upon lame delegations, independent of who raised the issue. For the reverse mapping, similar problems had not been reported. During previous discussion after the action item was initially assigned, the general problem was acknowledged but with little evidence of being re-occuring or pressing. No operators of DNS name servers had come forward to suggest any operational urgency. This action item is now DONE. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 49.2 Document on DNS Server Migration The working group has taken several attempts to finish the document, including defining the target audience, scope and level of detail. While discussions in both Berlin and Dubai had demonstrated some level of interest, the available momentum could not drive the draft towards a WG consensus. The conclusion in Dubai (RIPE 57) was to drop this project with thanks to all contributors. An archived version is available at <http://www.ripe.net/ripe/maillists/archives/dns-wg/2008/msg00031.html> and may serve as a starting point for a new initiative. This action item is now DONE. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 57.1 RIPE NCC (Anand) to consider pros and cons of submitting the trust anchors of zones signed by the RIPE NCC into ISC DLV This action item is NEW. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 57.2 Peter Koch will document the WGs advice that the old forward DNS zone domain objects in the RIPE DB should be deleted and liaise with the DB WG This was acted upon during the database WG meeting in Dubai. The DB WG agreed to take over, so this will continue as DB WG item 57.1. This action item is DONE. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Open action items are [51.4] and [57.1]. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Peter
