The IESG has received a request from the DNS-based Authentication of

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org mailing lists by 2016-02-22. Exceptionally, comments
may be
sent to iesg(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org instead. In either case, please retain the

As an author, I followed the directions of the WG with respect to the
lowercasing or not of the LHS. Consensus on the issue was very confusing
and changed multiple times, and I do believe the chairs made a wrong
call at some point for calling for the removal of the LHS lowercasing.
Without restarting the discussion here, I would like the IESG to take
a close look at whether or not to recommend that the document be changed
to do lowercasing of the LHS when possible.
The implementation status section shows 3 implementations (2 written by
me, the third one being gnupg) that use a lowercase call in the
implementation.
