[Asrg] New Version Notification for draft-irtf-asrg-dnsbl-07

[Franck Martin]

I'm not requesting for a root. 

I'm just highlighting the first post in the thread which is to make clear in the draft there is no root. 

Sorry also I'm catching up on the spec (yes I know I should read the archives). 

A few questions: 
-DNSBL usualy return an A record where the value ma indicate a status. Should this draft try to codify some answers? For instance a particular answer would mean DNSBL is shutdown 
-Should a listing in DNSBL generates an email to the listed to inform them of their new status. As stated in the document (3.4) many mail servers logs are not well watched, and it may take a while to recognise a listing has been added.

to paraphrase Mr. Levine, establishing a organized hierarchy of DNS*Ls 
is not on anyone's radar. 

It's an interesting idea, but who or what would be the root? How 
would they be organized? Its easy to imagine the process starting by 
partnerships between complementary lists, and hard to imagine the 
massive infrastructure investment required to establish a semantic 
organization of dnslists by fiat. 

Imagining a standardization under, for instance, .lists.arpa is 
certainly easy to do, and would give a level of legitimacy to those 
lists able to achieve that brand. (presumably there would be service 
level and governance requirements)
