At first I was quite surprised to read this, especially in the current climate, but on second thoughts despite all the recent press attention regarding privacy, I don't think I've seen any mention of DNS. I'd be extremely disappointed to see hear of the premature demise of this WG. As we approach the fifth anniversary of the summer of Snowden, I've the impression of a job half one, despite all the commendable efforts of the IETF, this group, individuals like Stéphane and the getdns team, etc, etc. Solid stub to recursive and qnamemin standards have been established but currently bind is the only performant DoT system and they've only recently announced work on qname minimalisation. Privacy enabled public recursives such as the very useful quad9.net service are still relatively slow while the quicker ones from the good folks at Sinodun suffer from a lack of clients, according to their published qps and therefore can't be considered a viable solution whilst recursive to authoritative remains unprotected. I see a lot of effort going into outreach but it still still seems like the general public and journalists have yet to catch on to the scale and breadth of this DNS problem, while the engineering community may have lost some of their initial momentum. This despite privacy becoming a major public issue recently. So please just recharter the WG and finish the job you started so well ! Please fix the recursive to authoritative problem and look at alternatives to DoT, such as QUIC and HTTPS before you go. Many thanks :o) Ian Maddison
