The document, along with other ballot positions, can be found here: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dprive-rfc7626-bis/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- COMMENT: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I have comments on the DISCUSS positions of Alissa and Warren, both of which I support to some extent: On Warren’s point, which I wouldn’t have made it a DISCUSS myself, I agree that editorial changes are warranted so as to make the point more clearly and with less baggage. I think we all know what the document means here, but not all readers will, and there’s sufficient FUD in this area that it behooves us to be very careful about how we say things. Avoiding things such as “alleged” and “it has long been claimed” is easy, would go a long way toward clarity and avoidance of feeding the FUD, and is worth a brief editing pass. I leave it to Warren to work the details out with the working group. On Alissa’s first point — why publish this update now, rather than waiting until more things shake out and settle down — I basically agree, though I’m torn between thinking that waiting is better... and, on the other hand, acknowledging that enough has already changed that it’s important to get the update out there, and that it can be updated again later. On her second point, I’ll go in a different direction: it’s bordering on silly to think that any real end user can be said to “be aware of and have the ability to control” anything related to DNS settings and resolution options. If “users” refers to those of us writing these specs, sure. But when we’re talking about our siblings and cousins and parents, who are doctors and nurses, chefs and bakers, bank tellers and car mechanics, there is no hope of awareness and understanding of the choices and their consequences, nor that any form of “communicate clearly” will really accomplish anything. I see little to recommend pretending that it will. So I, too, am not sure what this text is really meant to convey. _______________________________________________ dns-privacy mailing list dns-privacy@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dns-privacy
