The IESG has received a request from the Domain Name System Operations WG (dnsop) to consider the following document: - 'DNS query name minimisation to improve privacy' <draft-ietf-dnsop-qname-minimisation-07.txt> as Experimental RFC The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2015-11-23. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document describes one of the techniques that could be used to improve DNS privacy, a technique called "QNAME minimisation", where the DNS resolver no longer sends the full original QNAME to the upstream name server. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsop-qname-minimisation/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsop-qname-minimisation/ballot/ The following IPR Declarations may be related to this I-D: https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/2469/ https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/2542/
