I have been selected as the General Area Review Team (Gen-ART) reviewer for this draft. For background on Gen-ART, please see the FAQ at < http://wiki.tools.ietf.org/area/gen/trac/wiki/GenArtfaq> Please resolve these comments along with any other comments you may receive. Document: draft-ietf-dane-protocol-19.txt Reviewer: Miguel Garcia Review Date: 23-Apr-2012 IETF LC End Date: 25-Apr-2012 IESG Telechat date: Summary: The document is ready for publication as a standards track RFC. Major issues: none Minor issues: none Nits/editorial comments: The document is well written and I have no problems with it. Perhaps the IANA Considerations section can be improved by having clear instructions to IANA, especially on the registry they need to operate. For example, take a look at the text on Section 7.1: "This document uses a new DNS RR type, TLSA, whose value is TBD. " I have a problem with the word "uses". It is not clear if IANA has to allocate a value or the document uses an existing value. Assuming IANA has to allocate an existing value, please indicate the registry where that value should be allocated. For example, the text could say: This document request IANA to allocate a new "TLSA" value in the Resource Record (RR) TYPEs subregistry of the Domain Name System (DNS) Parameters registry: /Miguel -- Miguel A.
