Stephane,  (and dropping IESG as I don't think my comment needs to go to them)

I do not see why the group is limited to this point.

But it is not limited.  The full text of the paragraph you've quoted is:

So the argument appears to be that we should focus on standardizing
private communication between clients and resolvers, but if we happen to
be able to solve private between resolvers and authoritative nameservers
as well, that would also be considered in-scope.

I agree with Daniel on this interpretation of the charter.

I'm not sure i have strong opinions either way, but focusing on solving
one problem concretely can be useful if it means we don't get bogged
down in wrangling over which problem to solve first.

Exactly.  If we go back to the DNSE BOF at IETF 89 where this was all 
discussed, there seemed to be a division between people who wanted to solve the 
client/resolver issue and people who wanted to solve the resolver/authoritative 
issue. (And varying opinions about whether there *were* issues with each and 
whether those issues were even solvable.)

I like the approach of picking *one* of the problem areas and trying to tackle 
THAT first.

 If it turns out to
be easy to settle on something for the client→resolver link, it sounds
like we can move on to solving the resolver→authoritative link without
trouble.

Yes... or if in looking at solutions for the client/resolver link we happen to 
come up with one that ALSO works for the resolver/authoritative link, that work 
would certainly be allowed under this charter.

My 2 cents,
Dan
