Re: Last Call: draft-gould-rfc4310bis (Domain Name System (DNS) Security Extensions Mapping for the Extensible Provisioning Protocol

[Bernie Hoeneisen <bernie at ietf.hoeneisen.ch>]

I am a bit puzzeled that according to

  https://datatracker.ietf.org/idtracker/draft-gould-rfc4310bis/

draft-gould-rfc4310bis has already been placed on the IESG Telechat 
agenda, before the IETF Last Call has even ended.

Did this happen intentionally or by mistake?


Please be informed that on the provreg mailing list

  http://www.cafax.se/ietf-provreg/maillist/2010-01/maillist.html

there is a heavy discussion going on about the shortcomings of the current 
proposal. At least two issues have been identified so far:

1) XML namespace (interoperability issues as with the current proposal
   the feature negotiation does not work anymore as defined by the EPP
   core spec)

2) need for active / inactive flag (e.g. to mark a DS to be used for
   emergency key rollover)

Before these (and other) issues have been resolved, IMHO it does not make 
sense to discuss the I-D on the IESG Telechat.

The current proposal is still premature.


Furthermore due to lack of a Working Group (and lack of an _official_ IETF 
mailing list for EPP), many stakeholders are not even aware of EPP 
proposals going through standardization, which is somewhat in 
contradiction to the IETF transparency goals.

Have a nice weekend!

cheers,
 Bernie
