[dns-wg] DNSSEC Policy Development Process

Colleagues, you may recall Olaf posted a proposal to the list a few  
weeks ago. It was about changes to the in-addr.arpa delegation  
process to accommodate DNSSEC. In other words, updates to the  
templates  and database to allow for keying material, additional  
checks at the NCC, etc, etc.

I'm surprised and a little disappointed that nobody has commented on  
Olaf's proposal. Perhaps the timing was bad. Since the proposal  
emerged in the run-up to an IETF during the summer holidays, maybe  
everyone was too busy getting a sun tan or reading the latest IETF I- 
Ds. :-)

Olaf suggested a deadline of early August for the consultation  
period. There's been no response on the list, so I'm reluctant to  
declare consensus without some feedback from the WG. It would not be  
wise to presume that the WG's silence implied unqualified consent.
So, following a discussion with Peter and Jaap, your WG co-chairs  
have decided to extend the deadline for comments until the end of  
August. The WG chairs have a meeting on Aug 31st, so that would be a  
good opportunity to take the proposed policy forward.

I would like to ask all members of the WG to read Olaf's proposal and  
comment on it before Aug 31st, even if it's just to say that you  
think the proposal is fine as it is. Your comments and feedback would  
be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
