Whether it is good or bad, let's agree that "Camel" has a special
meaning in this community: it represents a particular view about DNS
complexity and the cost of further protocol extensions. Whatever the
merits of that view, the cuteness of the name, or the contemporary
rhetorical value it had, we should not institutionalise it by making
it the name of a working group intended to be a neutral venue for
DNS protocol work.
The person(s) who came up with that name may have been inspired by
this:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/101/materials/slides-101-dnsop-sessa-the-dns-camel-01
There could be a link to it in the (future) charter if they intent is
to explain something.
A WG name should describe the work, not take a position on it.
Yes.
