I thought that the Root Server Operators Statement on DNS Encryption helped clarify a particular lack of interest from that group. It made me wonder whether there has been any dialogue with TLD operators to establish whether they are interested in adopting encryption, as well as to understand the operational challenges that may need to be overcome to make any proposed solutions deployable? My apologies if the stance of TLD operators is well known to most in this group, however some of the recent debate on the list seems to suggest that the position of TLD operators is unclear. To echo and extend a point made in a different post, what is the problem being solved, do sufficient TLD operators believe that it needs to be solved and is the proposed solution one that they are likely to deploy?
