A new IETF WG has been proposed in the Applications and Real-Time Area. The IESG has not made any determination yet. The following draft charter was submitted, and is provided for informational purposes only. Please send your comments to the IESG mailing list (iesg@ietf.org) by 2017-09-25. DNS Over HTTPS (doh) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Current status: Proposed WG Chairs: TBD Assigned Area Director: Adam Roach <adam@nostrum.com> Applications and Real-Time Area Directors: Adam Roach <adam@nostrum.com> Ben Campbell <ben@nostrum.com> Alexey Melnikov <aamelnikov@fastmail.fm> Mailing list: Address: doh@ietf.org To subscribe: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/doh Archive: https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/browse/doh/ Group page: https://datatracker.ietf.org/group/doh/ Charter: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/charter-ietf-doh/ This working group will standardize encodings for DNS queries and responses that are suitable for use in HTTPS. This will enable the domain name system to function over certain paths where existing DNS methods (UDP, TLS, and DTLS) experience problems. The working group will re-use HTTPS methods, error codes, and other semantics to the greatest extent possible. The use of HTTPS provides integrity and confidentiality, and it also allows the transport to interoperate with common HTTPS infrastructure and policy. The working group will coordinate with the DNSOP and INTAREA working groups for input on DNS-over-HTTPS's impact on DNS operations and DNS semantics, respectvely. In particular, DNSOP will be consulted for guidance on the operational impacts that result from traditional host behaviors (i.e., stub-resolver to recursive-resolver interaction) being replaced with the specified mechanism. Specification of how the DNS data may be used for new use cases, and the discovery of the DOH servers, are out of scope for the working group. The working group will use draft-hoffman-dispatch-dns-over-https as input. Milestones: Apr 2018 - Submit specification for performing DNS queries over HTTPS to the IESG for publication as PS
