Hi Ed,

This charter seems to fly in the fase of the traditional IETF charter style, wherein a WG was deemed to have a set end point. “Develop guidelines”, “publish documents” and “serve as a clearinghouse” are terms that engender more activity but don’t indicate progress. (A long time ago, in a government job, I was taught terms that guaranteed one would never fail a performance review - like “participate in” and so on. The terms here fall into the same category.)

… item 4 and item 5

This is kind of like saying that one of my duties is “show up for work.” Isn’t #4 just saying the WG should act as WG? “Protocol maintenance” might just mean adding DNSSEC key algorithm numbers or it might mean a new zone transfer protocol. The latter is something I wouldn’t think this group is wanting to take on.

(I had written that for 4, but then I saw 5 gave me the same impression. In the sense I do see 4 and 5 are different, if I have the same reaction, they are two general to be “good” charter items unless the goal is to have a never ending WG.)

Item 4 ("extensions or protocol maintenance") allows the working group to improve DNS. I am not sure whether that covers DNSSEC. It is like have a mini-DNSng. :-)

S. Moonesamy
