List-Id: Addition of privacy to the DNS protocol <dns-privacy.ietf.org>

The DNS PRIVate Exchange (dprive) WG in the Internet Area has 
concluded. The IESG contact persons are Éric Vyncke and Erik Kline.

The mailing list will remain open.

A message from Éric Vyncke, DPRIVE Area Director:

All good things come to an end, including the DNS privacy WG 😊

The WG was created in 2014 while Brian Haberman was the responsible
AD, and now Brian is the WG co-chair with Tim Wicinski who has been
the co-chair since day 0 ! Terry Manderson was also the responsible AD
for some years and Warren Kumari was the first co-chair with Tim.

11 RFCs have been published by the WG starting with FC 7626 “DNS
Privacy Considerations” (2015) to the final one RFC 9539 “Unilateral
Opportunistic Deployment of Encrypted Recursive-to-Authoritative DNS”
(2024).

So, in concertation with the chairs (Brian Haberman and Tim Wicinski),
I have requested the closing of this WG. The mailing list will be kept
running for several years as usual.

As the responsible AD, let me thank you all for the work done: the
Internet is more secure now with privacy for DNS.

Regards

-éric
