Working Group Summary
This document was actively discussed and reviewed, partially because
this is a revision of an older RFC, but also as more DNS falls back to
TCP (DNSSEC) and the need for DNS to support the DNS-over-TLS work in
DPRIVE working group. The community feels updating the older RFC is
well needed. This also include the initial author of RFC5966.
The document had a broad discussion as the wording of several points
were more accurately described. Once these issues were resolved,
consensus was strong with no complaints.
