my action items from sunday's rssac meeting

[Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]

the sunday rssac meeting asked me to carry three messages back to the
ietf in my liaison role.  geoff, i'm not sure whether any of this
should be minuted, and i'm certain that at least some of it should
-not- be minuted in this form.  i'm ccing the iesg on this, since in
all of these the rssac was in effect using me as a liaison to the
ietf, not to the iab per se.

1) at least some members of rssac think there's an operational need
   for something in the space that the (expired) dnsop "serverid"
   draft attempted to cover.  history of why that particular draft
   stalled not particularly relevant here except to note that, in my
   opinion, an iesg member was just doing his job and the doc author
   didn't want to hear it.  the iab's liaison to the rssac happens to
   be in reasonably close communication with one of the chairs of the
   dnsop wg, so working this out is already in progress, and i'm just
   reporting it for completeness.

2) rssac is heavily into the ipv4 version of anycast as part of normal
   root operations.  rssac has started looking at the ipv6 equivilent,
   and would very much like to understand why ipv6 anycast is, well,
   so weird.  more precisely, they would either like somebody to
   explain to them the good reasons behind the weirdness or, if no
   such good reason really exists, they would like to have the
   weirdness fixed.  i believe that this is a reasonable request.

   itojun already has a draft in approximately this space, but i don't
   think it quite answers the rssac's question yet, so unless somebody
   objects, i'd suggest that the action here should be for me to work
   with itojun to see what we can do here.

3) last, just a heads up: due to our usual clever scheduling, ietf 59
   is scheduled for the same week as an icann meeting in rome.  the
   root ops/rssac folks are going to be stuck at the icann meeting for
   the early part of the week, so jun asked me to relay that, if
   possible, they'd really appreciate it if any dns related wg
   meetings at ietf 59 could be scheduled towards the end of the week.
   i didn't laugh outright (would have been rude to murai-sama), and i
   said i'd relay the message, but i hope that i set the expectations
   safely low on this one.  i will pass the message along to the
   dnsext and dnsop chairs, but other than that, it is what it is.
