Hi all,

Thanks a lot for this draft. I know my response is kinda late, but I understand 
that this is still an active endeavor.

In addition to the comments below, I'd like to raise the point of a 
"false-positive" rate for any kind of filtering. This is, in my view, a crucial 
aspect, and not currently considered sufficiently in the draft.

The problem is that it's really difficult to come up with a good number for 
this, partly because it's not even clear what the denominator of the false 
positive rate should be! (Complaints? ... those may be orders of magnitude off 
the real number.)

I have some more thoughts (but not solutions), but would first like to hear 
what others think / how other filter operators approach this.

In any case, the policies published by a (filtering) resolver operator should 
say something on what is considered an acceptable rate of false positives.

(FWIW, deSEC is a member of the DNS4EU consortium. We're trying to keep an eye 
on privacy and security matters.)

In the future it will be possible to use ZONEMD to validate the copy
of the root zone obtained before using it. This is currently being
deployed for the root zone, but not yet available.

[RFC8976](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8976.html) describes ZONEMD.

Small update: this is now in production, so this paragraph can be updated 
accordingly.

#### Logging considerations

1. Public privacy policy: DNS resolvers are recommended to publish
    their privacy policies transparently on their website. It can be a
    brief privacy commitment as well or be more elaborate on how the
    privacy policy was made. (See for example
    [Cloudflare's
statement](https://developers.cloudflare.com/1.1.1.1/privacy/public-dns-resolver)
or [Quad9's privacy page](https://www.quad9.net/service/privacy/).)

We should add here that such policies should explicitly mention the sampling 
rate of (anonymized) DNS queries/responses that are kept. Cloudflare does this 
(0.05%). I'm not sure about Quad9.

5. Ad policy and encryption: explain the ad policy and how it can
    potentially affect the users privacy. If data is encrypted, explain
    how it has been encrypted (DoH, DoT, or so on).

This is under "logging considerations". It's not clear to me at all why an "ad 
policy" appears here?

Best,
Peter
