Shepherd writeup
draft-ietf-dnsop-extended-error

(1) This document is Proposed Standard, and this is the type of RFC.

(2)  

Technical Summary:

  This document defines an extensible method to return additional
  information about the cause of DNS errors.  Though created primarily
  to extend SERVFAIL to provide additional information about the cause
  of DNS and DNSSEC failures, the Extended DNS Errors option defined
  in this document allows all response types to contain extended error
  information.

Working Group Summary:

  The document went through a rigorous consensus process, and there were
  several points which took a few iterations to resolve, but they were
  all resolved to strong approval from the working group.

Document Quality:

  There are no current implementations, but both software vendors and
  third party DNS providers are planning to implement these error codes
  now that the specifics have been agreed on.


Personnel:

Document Shepherd:  Tim Wicinski
Responsible Area Director:  Barry Leiba

A New Extended DNS Error Code EDNS Option

(18) 

The document calls for the creation of a new IANA Registry.

Registry Name: "Extended DNS Error" 
Code point space: 

   o  0 - 49151: First come, first served.
   o  49152 - 65535: Experimental / Private use.

Because the registry is first-come, first-served, no expert reviews for
future allocations are needed.
