Hi all,

Here is a summary of the changes in -01 and the topics we expect to address in 
-02.

Diff from -00:
https://author-tools.ietf.org/iddiff?url1=draft-ietf-acme-dns-persist-00&url2=draft-ietf-acme-dns-persist-01

This revision includes the three changes presented at IETF 125:

- decouple Account URI from record provisioning, enabling pre-provisioning
- clarify case-handling rules
- rename "Authorization Domain Name" to "Validation Domain Name"

It also includes four editorial updates:

- reorder the abstract and Section 1 use cases to lead with multi-tenant 
hosting and enterprise DNS environments
- clarify in Section 9.6.1 that clients SHOULD use a DNSSEC-validating 
resolver, and state the consequence of not doing so
- expand the wildcard examples in Sections 5 and 6 to include deep subdomains 
such as *.dept.example.com
- clarify the Section 6 proper-suffix rule by referencing RFC 8555 Section 
7.1.3 wildcard stripping and exempting the base-level wildcard

We discussed four additional topics at IETF 125 that we are targeting for -02. 
No objections were raised during the session.

- ancestor-domain selection for subdomain validation (#33 
<https://github.com/ietf-wg-acme/draft-ietf-acme-dns-persist/issues/33>)
  - open questions are about the mechanism (new `adn` challenge response field 
vs RFC 9444 `ancestorDomain`) and BR label-pruning depth limits
- remove the TTL validation ceiling (#42 
<https://github.com/ietf-wg-acme/draft-ietf-acme-dns-persist/issues/42>)
- IP validation via reverse DNS (#32 
<https://github.com/ietf-wg-acme/draft-ietf-acme-dns-persist/issues/32>), since 
SC-91 passed
- client-side persistUntil guidance (#38 
<https://github.com/ietf-wg-acme/draft-ietf-acme-dns-persist/issues/38>) and 
dedicated error types (#39 
<https://github.com/ietf-wg-acme/draft-ietf-acme-dns-persist/issues/39>)

Our goal is to address these in -02 before IETF 126. Feedback on the topics 
above would be helpful.

Thanks,
Shiloh
