DNS Directorate

The IETF DNS Directorate's primary mission is to advise the INT and OPS ADs. In addition it will support the ADs by:

Performing doc review on request from ADs. ADs will ask the dns-dir for a review of specific documents for DNS issues. Anyone on the directorate may volunteer for review in response, however one person will be responsible for obtaining at least two reviews from a list of reviewers that may extend beyond the dnsdir membership.
Advising on the overall strategic direction of DNS.
Providing outreach to WGs to detect where DNS issues may arise. e.g., cross-fertilizing to other WGs in areas where you might not otherwise
hang out, and "speaking at the mic," posting to a list, or alerting the dns-dir/ADs when DNS comes up (particularly in a questionable manner)
Being an outlet for the ID early warning system response which Olafur has been running
Acting as a body for asking questions and providing advice when people approach the IESG for DNS clue.
