Won't we need to move to the [email protected] list to start the WG discussion?

I would prefer this just be a simple name change or whatever but I
know that the usual thing is to resubscribe.

Also anticipate that new folk who aren't interested in charter
discussions joining and needing to come up to speed.


Reading the draft is a good way to do that. I would like to suggest we
add some stuff though:

1) Constraints.

Point out that the legacy DNS operates under a baroque set of
constraints that are not necessarily documented in section 2.1. In
particular the 500 byte limit and various DNS hijacking approaches.

2) Volume constraints

Any privacy solution has to be compatible with existing measures that
enable server scaling. It has to be possible to operate a resolver or
authoritative as a stateless service.

3) Public nature of DNS data.

I think this needs elaborating more. There have always been people who
assert that the cost of putting my hosts onto the Internet has to be
revealing their internal network names. It has never been so and the
idea has always been silly but it is frequently asserted even so.

A better statement is that the DNS space is logically consistent. That
is applications are entitled to expect that if they attempt to resolve
the name www.example.com and they get an answer then the answer will
be 'logically the same' regardless of their starting point. But even
that isn't necessarily the whole story.

If we are doing geolocation type tricks then I really don't want to
disclose the IP addresses of my hosts to everyone. I might have a
system where customers of ISPs that do a decent job of shutting down
DoS attacks go to one server and those that don't go elsewhere. I
don't want the IP addresses of the Dos proof site to leak.
