Paul, just because the WG *can* choose to do something doesn’t necessarily mean 
it *should*.

I’m not convinced there’s much to be gained from encrypting 
recursive-to-authoritative DNS traffic. Or that this will ever get deployed at 
scale. Have the use cases and requirements been documented for the problems 
this ID is intended to solve?

However my main concern are the unintended consequences from the standards 
track(?) RFC that eventually emerges. That could get baked into RFPs for DNS 
service or ICANN registry contracts, creating major operational and deployment 
problems for anycast providers who’d be on the hook for servicing bazillions of 
presumably encrypted queries per second.
