Technical Summary
The document specifies new DHCP and IPv6 Router Advertisement options
to discover encrypted DNS resolvers (e.g., DNS-over-HTTPS, DNS-over-
TLS, DNS-over-QUIC). Particularly, it allows a host to learn an
authentication domain name together with a list of IP addresses and a
set of service parameters to reach such encrypted DNS resolvers.
Working Group Summary
There has been discussion amongst a variety of individuals, with ten people

DDR drafts, complemented by closed issues and closed pull requests on GitHub.
The authors have also given updates on progress during working group sessions
at IETF meetings to highlight the draft to a broader audience.
Looking outside of the ADD working group, there has been consultation with the
DHC working Group on the DHCP content in this draft.

IESG Note
There was a very vague IPR disclosure by Verisign shortly after the ADD working
group was formed that may pertain in some way to ADD. It involved unpublished
filings and did not include any detail other than that Verisign had filed a
patent with the USPTO.
For reference, the following link is to the relevant posts on the ADD mailing
list.

IANA Note
Section 8 of the document contains the IANA considerations, identifying the
need for two option codes and one option type within existing registries.
Specifically, IANA is requested to:
- assign a new DHCPv6 Option Code in the registry maintained in “DHCPv6 Option
Codes”
(https://www.iana.org/assignments/dhcpv6-parameters/dhcpv6-parameters.xhtml#dhcpv6-parameters-2)
- assign a new DHCP Option Code in the registry maintained in "BOOTP Vendor
Extensions and DHCP Options"
(https://www.iana.org/assignments/bootp-dhcp-parameters/bootp-dhcp-parameters.xhtml#options)
- assign a new IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Option type in the "IPv6 Neighbor
Discovery Option Formats" sub-registry under the "Internet Control Message
Protocol version 6 (ICMPv6) Parameters" registry
(http://www.iana.org/assignments/icmpv6-parameters/icmpv6-parameters.xhtml#icmpv6-parameters-5)
