Yeah, dnsman feels definitely wrong to me. I’m looking at other active wg and these names pop up:
dns - I actually like that idea, Ted, there’s a lot of groups named like this dnsbis (DNS, like httpbis is HTTP) dnsm (DNS maintenance; sshm, tcpm) dnsmaint (DNS maintenance; mailmaint) dnsme (DNS maintenance and extensions; ipsecme) dnscore (DNS core protocol; sipcore) dnsp (DNS Protocol; but too close to dnsop) dnsu (DNS update; emu) dnswg (DNS Working Group; rtgwg) Out of these - dns, dnswg and dnsme are my favorites.
