Sure. If dnsop wants to do this work, that's fine. As for the dysfunction of the dnsext working group, I agreed to close it because as an incoming AD I wasn't entirely clear on what to do when the chairs requested that it be closed. If I had it to do over, I would probably instead have solicited new chairs and tried to fix the dysfunction, which I agree existed there. Unfortunately, the dysfunction will arise wherever DNS improvements are suggested, so not trying to fix it is not an option. And of course I realize that many good IETF contributors have been ground to a nubbin trying to fix the aforementioned dysfunction, and have no particular reason to think I would have been more able to fix it than my predecessors. _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
