[ncc-services-wg] Re: Allow DNSMON services to monitor ENUM domains

Replying to no-body in particular.

The discussion has been framed in terms of a service for particular  
TLDs or operators. I think that one argument has not been articulated.

The DNSMON service has been used in the past to debunk a number of  
myths about the stability of the the DNS system as a whole.  Those  
myths regularly reappear and may have (global) layer 9 implications.  
Therefor I think it is important that the data is provided by a  
monitoring service is ran by a technically competent and neutral party.

In that context this task fits in the  "the support of the stable  
operation of the Internet" and I would argue that it is a core  
activity of the NCC (given that that quote is from Article 3,  
objectives, of articles of association ;-) )

Since I can imagine that for ENUM there will be myths to be debunked  
I think that extending the service in that direction (tier 0 and 1  
level zones) makes sense.




hatless,
