Publication request draft-ietf-dnsext-rollover-requirements-04





Dear colleagues,

Title		: Requirements related to DNSSEC Trust Anchor Rollover
Author(s)	: Eland, Mundy, Crocker, Krishnaswamy
Filename	: draft-ietf-dnsext-rollover-requirements-04
Date		: November 27, 2006

Document shepherd: Olaf Kolkman

This is a request to publish the document as informational.

This draft relates to draft-ietf-dnsext-trustupdate-timers-04 and we
think these two documents should be treated together.


1) Have the chairs personally reviewed this version of the ID and do
    they believe this ID is sufficiently baked to forward to the IESG
    for publication?

The shepherding chair (Olaf) has reviewed the document. And believes the
document is ready for IESG submission.


2) Has the document had adequate review from both key WG members and
    key non-WG members? Do you have any concerns about the depth or
    breadth of the reviews that have been performed?


There has been an active core of WG members involved in creating this
document. The document has been reviewed and explicitly supported by:

  - Scott Rose
http://ops.ietf.org/lists/namedroppers/namedroppers.2006/ msg01280.html

  - Wouter Wijngaards
http://ops.ietf.org/lists/namedroppers/namedroppers.2006/ msg01294.html

  - Char Sample
http://ops.ietf.org/lists/namedroppers/namedroppers.2006/ msg01307.html

  - Andrew Sullivan
http://ops.ietf.org/lists/namedroppers/namedroppers.2006/ msg01306.html

  - Wesley Griffin
http://ops.ietf.org/lists/namedroppers/namedroppers.2006/ msg01372.html

  - Lindy Foster
http://ops.ietf.org/lists/namedroppers/namedroppers.2006/ msg01309.html

Two people have raised their concerns:
  - Bill Manning

http://ops.ietf.org/lists/namedroppers/namedroppers.2006/ msg01315.html
    Who argues that the document does not meet his perception of
    key-roll but does not provide technical arguments even when asked
    for.


  - Thierry Moreau

     His arguments are summarized in
http://ops.ietf.org/lists/namedroppers/namedroppers.2006/ msg01327.html
     and references therein. The issues raised by Mr Moreau
     * Lack of a security model for automated trust anchor rollover
     * And WG process of intellectual property issue
     * Work is beyond the charter of the group

     The chairs are of the opinion that these arguments are mostly of
     procedural nature.



Note has been taken that 3 folk from the above list are from Sparta
and two of those are not regular contributers to DNSEXT. In addition
there have been responses in the same thread (applying the
requirements to draft-ietf-dnsext-trustupdate-timers) which indicate
that people who have not explicitly supported the draft have read it.

We have confidence that support is the consensus position.


3) Do you have concerns that the document needs more review from a
    particular (broader) perspective (e.g., security, operational
    complexity, someone familiar with AAA, etc.)?


We think a review by security folk would not hurt, but see below



4) Do you have any specific concerns/issues with this document that
    you believe the ADs and/or IESG should be aware of? For example,
    perhaps you are uncomfortable with certain parts of the document,
    or whether there really is a need for it, etc., but at the same
    time these issues have been discussed in the WG and the WG has
    indicated it wishes to advance the document anyway.

See question 2).


5) How solid is the WG consensus behind this document?  Does it
    represent the strong concurrence of a few individuals, with others
    being silent, or does the WG as a whole understand and agree with
    it?


See question 2)



6) Has anyone threatened an appeal or otherwise indicated extreme
    discontent?  If so, please summarize what are they upset about.


Mr Moreau has shown discontent, also see question 2). A relevant
data point may be that Mr. Moreau was not satisfied with the agenda of
the Montreal meeting where these items were discussed.


7) Have the chairs verified that the document adheres to _all_ of the
    ID nits?  (see http://www.ietf.org/ID-nits.html).






8) For Standards Track and BCP documents, the IESG approval
    announcement includes a writeup section with the following
    sections:

    - Technical Summary
    - Working Group Summary
    - Protocol Quality




Summary.

This document provides a number or "requirements" for key-rollover in a
DNSSEC operational environment.

DNSSEC has been designed in such a way that zone operators can roll
their key-signin key, when those key-signing keys are configured as
trust anchors in remote resolvers those resolvers should automatically
adapt to these changes. This document sets out the requirements that
must be met by a DNS trust-anchor rollover solution for DNSSEC aware
resolvers.

As described in section 1 and 2, this document is intended to capture
the various requirements and use those in making a trade-off between
the various proposals that were available to the group. These
requirements acted as "goals". With the selection of
draft-ietf-dnsext-trustupdate-timers this document has no further
relevance. It is requested to be published as informational.
