Updates to Locally Served DNS Zones and IP Special-Purpose Address Space
                               Registries
                       draft-dnsop-rfc6303-bis-03

Abstract

   RFC 6063, "Locally Served DNS Zones", defines two IANA registries
   called "IPv4 Locally-Served DNS Zone" and "IPv6 Locally-Served DNS
   Zone" registries.  This document changes the registration policy for
   that registry from "IETF Review" to "Expert Review".

   Also, this document updates IP Special-Purpose Address Space
   registries to indicate whether an IP address block is eligible to be
   in Locally-Served DNS Zones.  Eligible entries will be automatically
   added to the Locally-Served DNS Zones.

   This document updates RFC 6063 and RFC 6890.
