[irsg] Comments on draft-irtf-asrg-bcp-blacklists-09 (fwd)

[John R. Levine]

These are the comments on the DNSBL BCP. I think they are minor enough
that we can just ask the RFC editor to deal with them.

Dear Lars

Please find below my comments following the review of draft-irtf-asrg-bcp-blacklists-09.

Overall the document is of good quality and contains useful information for DNSBL operators as well as users. References are accurate.

I will also upload the comments on the tracking system as soon as I found out how to do it ;-)


Best Regards

Detailed comments :

Introduction

RHSBL :

->give a description of what RHS means like it was done for WL in the DNSWL (WL = White List)

2.1.2 "Audit Trail SHOULD be maintained"

-> to be consistent with the other subsections, use capitals on words

2.1.3 3rd paragraph

"This has resulted in some labeling such practises by the ....."

-> Alternative 1: "This has resulted in some labeling of such practises by the ....."

-> Alternative 2: Alternative 1: "This has resulted in labeling such practises by the ....."


2.2.2 3rd parapgrah

The term "DDoS" has not been defined before in the document

2.2.5 3rd paragraph

"Colloqially, " it smells bad""

While I personaly like the statement, I am wondering if it fits in a standard document.

3.3

What is the semantics of the proposed "test" entry in DNSBLs. What
should be in the associated A record ? Is is recommended as a
replacement of the 127.0.0.0/8 test approaches or as a complement ?


3.5 "Listing of Special and Reserved IP Addresses MUST be disclosed"

- to be consistent with the other subsections, use capitals on words


3.6.1 "MUST NOT scan without provocation"

- to be consistent with the other subsections, use capitals on words

Didn't I already deal with these and upload the changes?

Um, whoops, yes, you did. That's what I get for cleaning up stuff from
two months ago. Anyway, he thinks it's OK, now I just have to browbeat
a couple of other RG chairs to read it and it's off to the printer.

R's,
