The reference to [I-D.ietf-dprive-rfc7626-bis] is obsoleted when it became [RFC9076] in July 2021.

Existing Text:
The general considerations of encrypted transports provided in "DNS Privacy Considerations" [I-D.ietf-dprive-rfc7626-bis] apply to DoQ.

9.1  Privacy Considerations

Justification:
The reference to [RFC7626] is obsoleted when it became [RFC9076] in July 2021.

Existing Text:
This risk is in fact a subset of the general problem of observing the behavior of the recursive resolver discussed in "DNS Privacy Considerations" [RFC7626].

Suggested Text:
This risk is in fact a subset of the general problem of observing the behavior of the recursive resolver discussed in "DNS Privacy Considerations" [RFC9076].

____________________________
9.  Privacy Considerations

Justification:
The new text only applies to interactions with authoritative name servers, not stub to recursive, so it fits well as an additional part of Section 9 – Privacy Considerations.  Also, RFC 9076 only mentions QNAME minimization, so it’s helpful to have a separate place to expand the explanation of data privacy.

New Section Suggested Text:

9.5.  Relationship with Minimization Techniques
QNAME minimization [RFC7816] reduces the sensitive information exchanged to only what’s necessary to perform a requested function. This reduces the risk of disclosure to both outside and inside parties, with no operational impact on the receiver. Additional minimization methods include NXDOMAIN cut processing [RFC8020], and aggressive DNSSEC caching [RFC8198].
