I'm on the verge of putting together a Bar BoF call on the IETF list. There have been two work items I wanted to cover - EPPbis and the issue of provisioning DS records.
Only in the last week did it sink into me that the problem is that we need a way to push DS records along the established registration path and not the DNS operations path. What this means - for registries that operate DNS and have direct dealings with registrants, the DS can go from the registrant's designated DNS operator to the registry. For registries that deal exclusively with registrars, the registrant's DNS operator has to know how to get the DS to the registrar (who in turn will use some other protocol to reach the registry).
Unfortunately, I doubt that many registrars will be at the IETF. (Maybe they will be.) This means we might not get the word out to those who should help shape the requirements for this.
My concern - if the IETF produces a solution for transferring DS records in-band to the DNS protocol we will repeat a mistake made in pushing EPP to Full Standard. Pushing EPP to Full Standard is in itself a true accomplishment and there is no controversy, the process was followed faithfully. The problem is, once it was Full Standard it was found to not be applicable to the general population that it was designed to serve. The protocol works and is interoperable; the requirements didn't grow as the use cases grew.
