RFC 3172 was written in 2001….which predates the vast majority of internet 
availability and use, and in fact quite a large number of internet users. 
Respectfully, I’ve always wondered who has this problem (US or non-US) besides 
network infrastructure geeks Of a Certain Age (yes, including myself, and many 
IETF participants).

For DNSOP participants, I hope this discussion is suggesting some possible ways 
forward now that we have a problem statement; it’s not clear whether such work 
will occur in DNSOP, but if work is needed, we should be thinking about how to 
do it.
