Approval announcement
Draft of message to be sent after approval:

Announcement

Ballot Text

Technical Summary

   This memo completely replaces the Domain Name System Security
   (DNSSEC) Algorithm Numbers registry. The new registry includes a
   field to indicate requirements for compliance to this memo. At the
   same time, the registry is adjusted to include some reservations of
   values that have been observed as being in use on the Internet.

Working Group Summary

   The Working Group believes that the DNSSEC Algorithm Numbers
   registry needs maintenance. This memo is intended to do that.  The
   memo includes a novel mechanism for specifying whether an algorithm
   is "required". The registry includes a field that indicates whether
   an algorithm is required, recommended, or forbidden by this memo,
   and the memo includes a constraint that it cannot be updated, only
   obsoleted. Not everyone thinks the additional field is a good idea.

Document Quality

   This is a process-only document intended to present a clean and
   usable registry for IANA; there is no protocol to implement.

Personnel

   Andrew Sullivan (ajs@shinkuro.com) is the document shepherd.
   Ralph Droms <rdroms.ietf@gmail.com> is the Responsible Area
   Director.
