We don't have ADs assigned to mailing lists. Since it isn't obvious to me that this mailing list is part of the DNSEXT WG I don't know what statement might be expected. My understanding was that in order for DNSEXT to make good progress on securing the DNS infrastructure it made sense to separate out the discussion about application keys. And one could argue that storing application keys in the DNS is not in the DNSEXT charter (but one could also argue that RFC 2535 allows it hence it should be in DNSEXT scope.) I understood the purpose of this mailing list to try to come up with a scope and problem statement for application keys in the DNS, and perhaps think about requirements and potential solutions. Once we collectively understand that we can figure out what next steps make sense. Erik
