Paul is correct. I wanted to extend the WGLC 2 weeks till May 22, 2015. I believe our goal is to leverage expediency over completeness - to move the document into official publication. If anything is missing, it can be addresses in a -bis document within the next year. thanks tim On 5/12/

I lost a more comprehensive response due to an application crash... IMHO, asking this in DNSOP is not the right place. Judging from messages about spam, some rely on PTRs and some rely on other approaches. That's a better discussion, not one in front of DNS people. In the sense that no RFC can "

George, I didn't get into your game theory because I think it's irrelevant. The IETF process is not a fast process. If parasitical organizations decide to try to get the calories they need from us rather than from ICANN, I am pretty sure they will quickly learn that this is futile. It might bri

My 2 cents... The presence or absence of a PTR record is, to me, like a reverse-DNS Literacy Test. History records that Literacy Tests didn't fare too well, as voting requirements, in the "real" (non-IT) world. In fact, they were just thin pretexts for racial bigotry, recognized as such, and
