______________________________________________________________________ DRAFT TRANSCRIPT Session: APNIC Member Meeting Date: Friday 3 March 2006 Time: 2.00pm Presentation: DNS operations SIG report Presenter: George Michaelson ______________________________________________________________________ PAUL WILSON: George Michaelson is reporting on the DNS Ops significant. And he'll be doing the PGP BoF as well. GEORGE MICHAELSON: Hello, everyone. We had a very successful DNS Operations group. I have to give apologies from Joe Abley, who couldn't make it. We had about 20 participants, which is lower than last time. We had about 50 last time. And this is the things that we discussed. I gave an update on the lame DNS policy and noted that we're considering exploring an extension of services, offering the membership secondary DNS, which would help to improve on the availability of reverse DNS. Sanjaya presented on the deprecation of ip6.int. We had an action item that I'll mention on another slide and our measurements have confirmed a very low level of activity in this space and we are on the timetable to turn off this service in June. We had a slide pack on BGP anycast considerations and on the impact to the Japanese community of some service failures in reverse DNS. And we've noted improvements in provisioning and had a presentation from Terry of a new way of managing this resource, which will include use of technology like XML and certificate-based management developments and Ed Lewis made a presentation titled 'DNNSEC, APNIC and how EPP might play a role'. We have three action items, all of which are essentially going on. dns-20-001 and 002 relate to ip6.int and both of these are proceeding on their timeline and will complete in June 2006 and we have a measurement obligation from dns-20-003 about reporting on the level of undelegated and never-delegated domains and that's an ongoing activity. And to just run straight into the - are there any questions or issues? (None) So I'll just run straight into the PGP BoF. We had a great PGP BoF. The last time we did this in Hanoi, there were four of us and we ran it on a couch in the corridor. We had nine participants this time and had a raucous, noisy time at the back of the room. We did a round robin circle of key exchange. But something that came up is that, although there are very good tools to register that we're having a key exchange and upload keys and make a key ring, there aren't very good tools to do anything once you've finished signing. We couldn't find anything that would easily let us update the results and get them back and share them. I'm going to spend some time to find some improvements on that side of the process. If people are happy, I'd like to carry on doing this key signing at meetings. That's it. Thank you. APPLAUSE PAUL WILSON: Thanks, George.
