The PublicRoot DNS Operations Working Group (DNSops WG) develops and
publishes guidelines concerning the operation and administration of DNS
software servers and zone files. These guidelines provide operators and
administrators with technical information relating to the implementation
of the DNS protocol, zones, resolvers, root and TLD name servers.
