Dear Colleagues:

Yesterday we started a review of IANA's procedures relating to validating NS records and glue supplied by TLD operators for insertion into the root zone.

The discussion paper, as well as a public forum for comments, is at:

http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-18aug06.htm

We'll run this comment period until 30 September, after which we will use the guidance provided to draft an operational procedure on the topic.

Kindest Regards,
