No, the client makes a decision whether to use the local resolver or not, 
please see 
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-reddy-dprive-dprive-privacy-policy-01#section-2
 
I will update the draft in the next revision to make it more clear.

Agreed, the bootstrapping procedure is not implicitly triggered. You may want 
to look into 
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-reddy-dprive-bootstrap-dns-server-05#section-11.
  It is similar to way VPN is enabled implicitly in all networks and the user 
has to explicitly disable VPN connection in specific network (e.g., Home 
network with security service to filter malware).
