This discussion is more in the realm of policy than in that of protocol
development, though it affects future decisions on ADoTQ. We started to discuss
the root part of the issue, but the TLD one is also not that straightforward.
If ADoTQ imposed significant additional costs on TLD operators, one could
imagine that at least some operators could try - through whatever governance
process applies to each of them - to raise the domain name price to compensate
for these costs. Would ICANN and national regulators be receptive to this
request? Would users be willing to pay for encrypted TLD connections? What
would be the reaction of the rest of the domain name market? These are policy
questions that would possibly determine a decision to deploy ADoTQ or not, and
thus the success or failure of the protocol at the TLD level.
By the way, there are past examples of use of the DNS root by web browsers that
generated very significant load, and thus cost, for root operators, without a
matching advantage for end-users - e.g.
https://blog.apnic.net/2020/08/21/chromiums-impact-on-root-dns-traffic/ . It
looks like there is the need for better coordination and reciprocal
understanding between the three communities - browsers, root operators and TLD
operators. Perhaps this could be the subject of a session at one of the
upcoming DNS community/policy conferences, trying to solicit views and/or
experiments on how ADoTQ would impact root and TLD operations.
