Re: do we need a meeting of the DNS TF ?
Hallo Andreas! => Question is whether we want to overhaul the domain object, or just => approve the small changes discussed last week. If we just want the => small changes, I am sure we can do it in the db-wg (Wilfried?). If we => want other bigger changes, we'd probably need a dns-wg meeting. = =We probably should still do it - if possible - within the db-wg. =It's (just :-) another object and I think we should decide what's =it use and what's the future of each of its attributes. I think [ $ set /me /mode=piet.b # :-) ] I'm reluctant to drag this stuff (remaining in a state of being rare instead of well-done :-) into the DB-WG. Maybe I'm a bit too proud about the DB-folks, but I've got the impression recently that we managed to get various things and proposals discussed up to a useful point (by different means and methods) and then just put the finishing touch on top during the DB-WG meeting. Quite to the contrary, the DNS (-object stuff) is (and has been) tossed around for more than a year now, if I recall correctly. Listening to Piet's emontional announcement, I get the feeling that the DNS folks still have to make up their minds, one way or the other... If this indeed has happend, then a proposal for a changed object is welcome to be discussed withint the DB-WG. So, my proposal would be to actually convene a DNS group meeting (even with only this one agenda item) and to try to arrive at some kind of consensus or to completely dismiss this issue. Wilfried. PS: speaking as a plain USER and NOT speaking for the DB-WG, I'd rather have the DNS group dissolved than keeping it in the semi-paralysed state it is in these days :-( -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wilfried Woeber : e-mail: Woeber@CC.UniVie.ac.at Computer Center - ACOnet : Vienna University : Tel: +43 1 4065822 355 Universitaetsstrasse 7 : Fax: +43 1 4065822 170 A-1010 Vienna, Austria, Europe : NIC: WW144 --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Listening to Piet's emontional announcement, I get the feeling that the DNS folks still have to make up their minds, one way or the other... In the DNS-WG on that RIPE meeting it was decided that the *sd and *ns attributes would change from mandatory into optional. But as far as I know it was the DB-WG that acted as showstopper becase they considered it their task to accept/reject changes and they didn't agree with these changes. Correct me if I'm wrong. If this indeed has happend, then a proposal for a changed object is welcome to be discussed within the DB-WG. Go ahead and talk, talk, talk. But it should be clear from my "emontional announcement" (which I consider quite to the point rather than emotional) that as far as I'm concerned it's far too late already for changes in the Domain object, the object effectively being dead because of it being unworkable and causing only headaches to domain registrars.
