Well I was actually ICANN staff when I helped write the original :-) If there's something in here that doesn't match reality then there's an IANA review that has to pass before the document gets stamped with a number, and I'm pretty sure that review would not pass if this was all so many contrived lies. Our rationale when we published 7958 was that this information relating to the Internet infrastructure that is relevant to a general audience, and it belongs in the RFC series since we want to represent a specification that people can code against. I think the same argument holds with the successor. A benefit of keeping the changes to the spec in the RFC series is that we retain the whole history and don't have to resort to e-mail archives or the Internet Archive to find out what changed when and why. I don't think you were suggesting otherwise or disagreeing with any of the above, but I thought the context might be useful to others following along. While I think it's also plausible to imagine this document being published as an individual or AD-sponsored submission away from dnsop, I think it'd be much better to have dnsop eyes on it and get the benefit of any suggested improvements for clarity, avoidance of ambiguity, etc. Joe _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
