   <draft-ietf-dnsext-dhcid-rr-13.txt> as a Proposed Standard
- 'The DHCP Client FQDN Option '
   <draft-ietf-dhc-fqdn-option-13.txt> as a Proposed Standard
- 'Resolution of FQDN Conflicts among DHCP Clients '
   <draft-ietf-dhc-ddns-resolution-12.txt> as a Proposed Standard
- 'The DHCPv6 Client FQDN Option '

Technical Summary
 
   These four documents jointly specify how fully 
   qualified domain names (FQDNs) are handled in DHCP, 
   how the mapping between FQDNs and DHCP-assigned 
   addresses are registered in the DNS, and how
   conflicts are resolved when multiple DHCP servers 
   or clients attempt to register the same FQDN.

   In particular:
   
   draft-ietf-dhc-ddns-resolution-10.txt:
   
      Defines a mechanism to resolve conflicts when
      multiple DHCP clients or servers try to register
      the same FQDN in the DNS.

   draft-ietf-dnsext-dhcid-rr-10.txt:

      Defines and RR type for use with the DDNS
      resolution mechanism in the previous document.

   draft-ietf-dhc-fqdn-option-11.txt:

      Defines the FQDN option for DHCP(v4).

   draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-fqdn-03.txt:

      Defines the FQDN option for DHCPv6.
 
Working Group Summary
 
   These documents are the work output of the DNSEXT and
   DHC WGs.  There was consensus in both groups to publish
   these documents as Proposed Standards.
 
Protocol Quality
 
   These documents have been reviewed for the IESG by 
   Margaret Wasserman.
