Hi all, I realise that thinking up names for things is everybody's favourite hobby, but I suggest that since dnsext is an old, closed working group and what we are talking about is a new, open working group with a fresh charter, a different name is the path of least confusion.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who suggested the name camel for this new working group, but I do think it is excellent. Anybody who doesn't understand it has a motivation to find out about it, which is an exercise I might suggest is entirely worthwhile.
