Charter: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/charter-ietf-dnsop/

The Domain Name System Operations (DNSOP) WG  defines and documents the
deployment and operational considerations for the DNS protocol. The WG also
provides guidance and elaborates best current practices for DNS deployment.
DNS topics which are being developed in other IETF WGs are out of scope for
the DNSOP WG. These will be published as BCP or Informational RFCs.

DNSOP provides a venue for DNS operators and other interested parties to
engage in discussions around the operational requirements of DNS and publish
documents. Specifically, the WG welcomes insights from those who wish to
share operational experience and challenges as well as discuss other
DNS-related matters that are within scope of the WG.

The DNSOP WG is also responsible for maintenance, updates and extensions to
the DNS protocol. These will be published as Standard Track or Experimental
RFCs.

DNS-related I-Ds that don't have an obvious WG which could adopt them can be
submitted to the DNSOP WG for consideration. The DNSOP WG will advise on the
appropriate way to progress these I-Ds, for instance by suggesting the most
suitable WG or recommending the chartering of a new WG.

The WG will engage with relevant WGs and other appropriate organizations
whenever collaboration is needed, especially for WG adoption and Last Calls.
DNSOP will liaise with IANA on the management of IANA's DNS-related
registries.

Whether the DNS protocol maintenance is better handled by a new WG or be kept
in DNSOP will be open for community discussion in 2 years. The WG will
recharter in 2 years to take into account the outcome of that discussion.
