DNSOP

Summary

The DNSOP session covered a range of topics, including proposed mechanisms for indicating zone cuts, extensions for delegation record types, updates to DNSSEC algorithm rules, improvements for private DNSSEC, strategies for DNSSEC disaster recovery, and the publication of domain "for sale" indicators. Discussions highlighted the technical merits and potential operational impacts of each proposal, often leading to recommendations for further mailing list engagement or re-evaluation of scope within the IETF or other streams. A significant meta-discussion also took place regarding the future home and organization of Post-Quantum DNSSEC work within the IETF. The chairs indicated upcoming changes to how presentations and drafts are accepted, with details to be announced on the mailing list.
