Introduction In [RFC6303] "Locally Served DNS Zones", it defines two IANA registries called "IPv4 Locally-Served DNS Zone Registry" and "IPv6 Locally-Served DNS Zone Registry". This document changes the registration procedure for that registry from "IETF Review" to "Expert Review".

Terminology The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here. DNS terminology is as described in [RFC8499]. 2.1. Updates to 6063 Please update Section 8 of [RFC6303] "IANA Considerations" with the following text: OLD: This registry can be amended through "IETF Review" as per [RFC5226]. As part of this review process, it should be noted that once a zone is added it is effectively added permanently; once an address range starts being configured as a local zone in systems on the Internet, it will be impossible to reverse those changes. Wicinski Expires 5 June 2026 [Page 2] Internet-Draft rfc6303-bis December 2025 NEW: This registry can be amended through "Expert Review" policy (Section 4.5 of [RFC8126]). As part of this review process, it should be noted that once a zone is added it is effectively added permanently; once an address range starts being configured as a local zone in systems on the Internet, it will be impossible to reverse those changes. More guidance for Designated Experts is provided in Section TBD. 2.2. Guidance for Expert Reviews In changing the approval to "Expert Review", there should be some additional guidance. Here are some examples (not all mandatory) on what the Reviewer should look for: 1. Should have at least an internet-draft written which can explain the usage. 2. The various Working Groups in the IETF should have 3. Must be approved by someone named Tim. 3. References 3.1.
