Hi David,

Good points. Here is my current take on this:

(1) that we only focus on changing the policy to “Expert Review” for the 
following registries:

  *   IPv4 Locally-Served DNS Zone Registry
  *   IPv6 Locally-Served DNS Zone Registry

but keep untouched these ones:


  *   Transport-Independent Locally-Served DNS Zone Registry
  *   service.arpa Subdomain

(2) Add under the “Designated Expert Guidance” of the new I-D an instruction to 
check that an entry is also present in the Special address space registries.

(3) Consider adding a note to the “Special Address Space” registries to mirror 
entries that have specific characteristics (e.g., as a function of 
Forwardable/Globally Reachable values).

If we can’t think of an automatic rule for IANA to mirror certain registrations 
based on current columns, then maybe consider also updating RFC6890 to add a 
new column that will be filled when adding an entry into the special registry 
space registries. For example:

NEW:
  Eligible to Locally-Served DNS Zones: A boolean value indicating whether
 the IP address block is to be added to the Locally-Served DNS Zones IANA
 registry.
 IANA has to add relevant entries for “Eligible to Locally-Served DNS Zones”
 set to “True” in the IPvx Locally-Served DNS Zone Registry.

The Designated Experts will help IANA to create the reverse zones for such 
entries. This also an aspect to be discussed in “Designated Expert Guidance” 
Section of the new I-D.

Of course, these are suggestions.

Cheers,
Med

Objet : Re: [v6ops] Expanded IPv6 Documentation Address Space and the 
"Locally-Served DNS Zones" registry

Looking at this a little deeper, there are four sub-registries for the 
Locally-Served DNS Zones.

The first two sub-registries, the IPv4 and IPv6 Locally-Served DNS Zone 
Registries, should be changed to "Expert Review". However, with an additional 
restriction that allows only address blocks from one of the Special-Purpose 
Address Space registries to be added to the corresponding Locally-Served DNS 
Zones registry. Except when an address block is concurrently added to both 
registries.

Adding an address block to one of the Special-Purpose Address Space registries 
requires "IETF Review." Following that, "Expert Review" is probably sufficient 
if it was forgotten to be added to the Locally-Served DNS Zones registry, as is 
the case with the Expanded IPv6 Documentation Address Space. However, adding an 
address block to the IPv4 or IPv6 Locally-Served DNS Zone Registries 
effectively makes it a special-purpose address block. So, requiring 
Special-Purpose Address Space designation before or concurrent with the 
addition to the Locally-Served DNS Zone Registries seems appropriate.

However, I'm not sure that "Expert Review" is the appropriate registry 
procedure for the other two sub-registries, the Transport-Independent 
Locally-Served DNS Zone Registry, and the service.arpa Subdomain registry.

Thanks.

Hi David, all,
(also adding dnsop)

Adding 3fff::/20 to "Locally-Served DNS Zones" registry makes sense. However, 
given the registration policy of that registry and lack of a rule that would 
allow us to automatically add prefixes with similar properties to that 
registry, I checked with IANA and also consulted with the IESG colleagues about 
how we better handle this.

Given also that future similar issues may happen (the DNS registry may not be 
known for other WGs, in particular), the suggested approach is to relax the 
registration policy of "Locally-Served DNS Zones" registry to “Expert Review” 
instead of “IETF Review”. This would be similar to the fix in 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc9650/ but for another registry.

If there is a volunteer to write a short draft to fix this, and there are no 
objections to relax the registration policy, I think that this is a document 
that we can fast track in DNSOP (or even as AD sponsored).

Comments are welcome.

Cheers,
Med

Objet : [v6ops] Expanded IPv6 Documentation Address Space and the 
"Locally-Served DNS Zones" registry


V6ops Chairs and RFC9637 Authors,

I have been reviewing several IANA registries and noticed that the Expanded 
IPv6 Documentation Address Space 3fff::/20 has not been added to the 
"Locally-Served DNS Zones" registry.

Given that RFC 9637 updates RFC 3849, and RFC 6303 referenced RFC 3849 and 
included 2001:db8::/32 (8.B.D.0.1.0.0.2.IP6.ARPA) in the "Locally-Served DNS 
Zones" registry [1], I believe 3fff::/20 (0.F.F.F.3.IP6.ARPA) should also be 
added to that registry, but it has not been added.

What is the proper procedure to correct this?

I think, with RFC 9637 and the "IETF Review" registration procedure for that 
registry, it should simply be a request to the IESG and/or IANA.

Thanks.
