Group submission address: comp-protocols-dns-ops@vix.com Moderator contact address: postmaster@vix.com (Paul Vixie) For your newsgroups file: comp.protocols.dns.ops DNS operations (where not BIND specific). (Moderated) The charter, culled from the vote result announcement: Discussions of DNS operations, where neither the BIND implementation or the protocols or standards are implicated, can take place here. As a replacement for the comp.protocols.tcp-ip.domains newsgroup, we know that we can expect ongoing discussions of domain charging policies and other political issues, as well as misplaced discussions which actually belong in a BIND-specific or standards-specific newsgroup. This group will be moderated, mostly to filter out spam and off-topic posts. (See section entitled "CHARTER: all groups" for more information about moderation policy.) On moderation: the primary moderation mechanism will be a robot which auto-approves posts if they do not appear to be SPAM and they are not cross-posted to other groups in the same hierarchy. Articles which fail the robot's filters will be sent to a human (Paul Vixie) for handling. Paul Vixie will approve any article which seems to be mostly on topic; he reserves the right to delete SPAM without notifying the sender, and the right to suggest to an author that her choice of newsgroups could profitably have been different, and the right to pass through errors from the news system such as "more than 50% included text". No article will be rejected on the basis of its flame content. Cross posted articles will probably be rejected with an explaination to the author, since very few articles appropriate for any of these groups will be appropriate for any other group. That decision will be made on a case by case basis, and the robot will be informed of newsgroup unions for which cross posting is acceptable so that human intervention won't be required in that case in the future. On naming: as a middle aged curmudgeon, your humble speaker feels it his duty to stamp out incorrect nomenclature such as "TCP/IP". Most of the network traffic that carries DNS information is UDP, a peer of TCP in the great protocol stack in the sky. Naming the original DNS-related newsgroup "comp.protocols.tcp-ip.domains" was an error, one we propose to (a) not repeat in our selection of names for these new groups, and (b) repair by deleting/renaming the c.p.t-i.d group to "comp.protocols.dns.ops". It may or may not be an error to call a group "comp.protocols.tcp-ip", and we are not making any proposals that that group be renamed. It would be a huge and compound error to call our groups "comp.protocols.tcp-ip.domains.bind" et al.
