Re: [DNSOP] Last Call: <draft-ietf-dnsop-onion-tld-00.txt> (The .onion Special-Use Domain Name) to Proposed Standard

[Ted Lemon <ted.lemon@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is clearly needed.   There are serious technical, privacy and 
personal safety costs to saying no to this, which supersede any supposed 
layer 9 considerations.   Given that the working group already discussed 
the layer 9 issues and had consensus to publish this document, I think 
it would be unfortunate and inappropriate to re-try all of the same 
issues again on the IETF mailing list.   If working group participants 
feel that the consensus call was made in error, they should appeal the 
consensus call using the IETF appeals process, rather than re-arguing 
the same points on the IETF mailing list.

I say this with utmost respect and appreciation for the DNSOP working 
group participant who has attempted to begin such an argument already.   :)
