Background: I run a small (very small) public DoH and DoT resolver,
and it has a DROP (a policy). If you want to read it, it is only in
french: <https://doh.bortzmeyer.fr/policy>. I checked it against
section 6 and appendix C.

Executive summary: the draft is fine and useful and, IMHO, should be
published.

A few issues:

* the first paragraph of section 4 should be deleted since the draft
does not use RFC2119 (and rightly so), except one lonely SHOULD in
section 5.

* "A DNS privacy service must be engineered for high availability."
I'm not in favor of this sentence. 1) It seems to despise small
resolvers managed by small organisations, while we need many diverse
DoT and DoH resolvers, to avoid centralisation 2) Today, Firefox,
unfortunately, does not allow to add more than one DoH resolver, which
makes the DoH resolver a very critical resource. But I hope that in
the future, we will be able to configure several resolvers, with an
efficient fallback, making the issue of availability less important.

* DROP is not a perfect acronym since the draft does not talk only
about privacy but also about integrity ("result filtering", aka lying
resolvers).

* "exporting DNS traffic from the resolver using e.g. dnstap" May be a
reference to section 6.1.1 about sharing could be a good idea? Today,
many existing policies say things like "we don't store logs for more
than N weeks" but are silent on export/sharing...

* "Aggressive Use of DNSSEC-Validated Cache [RFC8198] to reduce the
number of queries to authoritative servers to increase privacy" RFC
8020 could be mentioned, too, for the same goal.

* Appendix B is really good and useful. "The level of anonymization
this [keeping a /24 for IPv4] produces is perhaps questionable" is
certainly the understatement of the year :-)
