Subject: Protocol Action: Handling of Unknown DNS Resource Record 
         Types to Proposed Standard
-------------


The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'Handling of Unknown 
DNS Resource Record Types' <draft-ietf-dnsext-unknown-rrs-05.txt> 
as a Proposed Standard. This document is the product of the DNS 
Extensions Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Thomas 
Narten and Erik Nordmark. 
   
Technical Summary
  
Extending the Domain Name System with new Resource Record (RR) 
types currently requires changes to name server software. This 
document specifies the changes necessary to allow future DNS 
implementations to handle new RR types transparently.
   
Working Group Summary
   
There was WG consensus to advance the document.
   
Protocol Quality
   
The specification has been reviewed for the IESG by Erik 
Nordmark.
