On the other hand, spending a week or two repeating a cycle to get an important term in the current document seems like a better solution.

If the WG agrees that this is an important term, sure.

Well, if the IETF has consensus :) I'm raising the issue during this last call that "round-robin" should be in the list of defined terms.

I would say that if the WG didn't think it was important at the time by forgetting it, it probably is not an "important term", and I can see this not being fixed in an IETF LC anymore as an acceptable outcome.

Especially as the DNS Terminology document seems to be getting refreshed pretty regularly to begin with.

I believe that we should consider adding round robin in the *next* version of this document; this one has already had a (very extended) last call, and we could easily get stuck in an endless loop of "just adding another term"/ 

Also, this sort of document would have been an ideal test case for "Living Documents", but that particular effort never came to fruition[0].

[0]: After 8+ meetings, including a side meeting / BoF I realized that consensus seemed unlikely. Almost everyone agreed that we needed something like this, but almost everyone had a different idea of what it should look like… 

But also, I didn't find a good definition of round robin in existing RFCs either. There is a mention in rfc1794 but it doesn't really define the term there. So I am not sure what the DNS Terminology document would reference?
