The DNS has a large installed base and repertoire of protocol specifications. The DNSEXT WG group will actively advance DNS protocol-related RFCs on the standards track while thoroughly reviewing further proposed extensions. The scope of the DNSEXT WG is confined to the DNS protocol, particularly changes that affect DNS protocols "on the wire" or the internal processing of DNS data. DNS operations are out of scope for the WG. The WG will limit itself to review of proposals for new extensions, clarification to the DNS protocol, including DNSSEC, and review of DNS protocol related work which may originate elsewhere in the IETF, including AD-sponsored submissions or drafts in other working groups. Adoption of new DNSEXT standards track working group items will require changes to this charter. The WG does not intend to hold face to face meetings, though may do so if deemed necessary for resolution of a specific issue at hand. The DNSEXT WG will conduct the specified RFC2929bis review of RR templates as they are posted and also maintain a living ID of errata for the DNSSEC document set.
