 Authors: Marco Davids
 Working Group: Operations and Management Area (ops)
This document defines an operational convention that uses the reserved underscored DNS leaf node name "_for-sale" to indicate the parent domain name is available for purchase. The convention can be deployed without disrupting existing operations, and it may be applied even when the domain name is still actively in use.

 Working Group: Operations and Management Area (ops)
There has been an increasing level of discussion within the IETF about the best Working Group (WG) structures for handling the wide array of DNS work being conducted within the IETF. Wes Hardaker was asked to gather information from the community at large through e-mail, hallway discussions, and meetings and create a small team to discuss potential structural changes to be shared with the community. This document describes the team’s aggregated findings, their derived recommendations, and topics where the team did not find sufficient commonality within the collected opinions. This document is published to retain the record for historic reference.
