These guidelines will provide technical information +relating to the implementation of the DNS protocol by the operators +and administrators of DNS zones. The group will perform the following +activities: + +1. Describe practices by which Domain Name System (DNS) software + may be efficiently and correctly administered, configured, and + operated on Internet networks. This will include root zone name + servers, TLD name servers, or any other resolver or server + functioning as part of the global DNS. As part of this effort, + the group will produce documents explaining to the general + Internet community what processes and mechanisms should be + employed for the effective management and operation of DNS + software and services, including root, TLD, and recursive servers. + +2. Publish documents concerning DNSSEC operational procedures. + +3. Publish documents concerning DNS operational + procedures in IPv6 and mixed IPv6-IPv4 networks, and provide + documentation and guidance on DNS-related IPv6 transition and + coexistence issues. + +4. Publish documents to address operational issues with the DNS + protocols by extending or performing protocol maintenance + on them. Act as focal-point for operator discussion and provide + advice to the Ops ADs and other WGs on EDNS0 options, new + RRTYPEs, DNSSEC, record synthesis, or other mechanics of + extending DNS to support other applications. + +5. Serve as a home for drafts that document the problem space + around existing or new DNS issues. The group, with the advice + and consent of the responsible AD in coordination with other areas, + will then decide whether these issues belong in DNSOP under + the existing charter and, if not, will work with the authors and + appropriate ADs to determine the proper place for the work to be + carried out. + +6. Publish documents that attempt to better define the overlapping + area among the public DNS root, DNS-like names as used in local + or restricted naming scopes, and the 'special names' registry + that IETF manages, perhaps including how they might interact. + This work must take into consideration issues that are strictly + beyond the operation of the DNS itself, and the working group + will consult with IETF liaisons to other organizations as + appropriate.
