Technical Summary

As DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) is being widely deployed, tools and 
processes are not fully mature. Creating a temporary object called Negative 
Trust Anchor to temporarily disable DNSSEC validation for misconfigured 
domains; thereby allowing DNS resolution to continue working.


Working Group Summary

The working group spent time reviewing the document, and several points were 
raised about the deployment of these trust anchors. However, all points raised 
involved clarification text which made the final document more robust. There 
were no decisions that were particularly rough.

Document Quality

 There were several editorial passes done during the timeframe, all of which 
cleared up the text. The document has a section on managing these Negative 
Trust Anchors, and laid out in a manner that operators of DNS zones will be 
able to use.  Additionally, there are examples from existing DNS tools in 
Appendix A.
