If you could support this observation by tangible textual reference, that would be appreciated. As a side note, there is an IETF liaison to ICANN, independent of whatever WG charter. > 1.

My recollection of the previous discussion of this exact issue is that people were in favour of not mentioning any particular systems in the hierarchy especially to avoid the perception conveyed above. Note however, that the charter as proposed would _not_ prevent the DNSOP WG from, say, updating RFC 2870. -Peter _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
