do we need a meeting of the DNS TF ?

  Hallo Andreas!

=> Question is whether we want to overhaul the domain object, or just
=> approve the small changes discussed last week. If we just want the
=> small changes, I am sure we can do it in the db-wg (Wilfried?). If we
=> want other bigger changes, we'd probably need a dns-wg meeting.

=We probably should still do it - if possible - within the db-wg. 
=It's (just :-) another object and I think we should decide what's 
=it use and what's the future of each of its attributes. I think 

[ $ set /me /mode=piet.b # :-) ]

  I'm reluctant to drag this stuff (remaining in a state of being rare
  instead of well-done :-) into the DB-WG.  Maybe I'm a bit too proud
  about the DB-folks, but I've got the impression recently that we
  managed to get various things and proposals discussed up to a useful
  point (by different means and methods) and then just put the finishing
  touch on top during the DB-WG meeting.
  
  Quite to the contrary, the DNS (-object stuff) is (and has been) tossed
  around for more than a year now, if I recall correctly. Listening to
  Piet's emontional announcement, I get the feeling that the DNS folks
  still have to make up their minds, one way or the other... 

  If this indeed has happend, then a proposal for a changed object is
  welcome to be discussed withint the DB-WG.
  
  So, my proposal would be to actually convene a DNS group meeting (even
  with only this one agenda item) and to try to arrive at some kind of
  consensus or to completely dismiss this issue.
  
  Wilfried.
  
PS: speaking as a plain USER and NOT speaking for the DB-WG, 
    I'd rather have the DNS group dissolved than keeping it in the
    semi-paralysed state it is in these days :-(
