You'll be doing well to cover even the relevant parts of
that in 10 minutes! (And yes it may well make more sense
to discuss these topics in dnsops.)

I say "relevant parts" because I think the draft has a
mixture of arguments about DoH and ones that are fairly
clearly independent of DoH.

For example: AMP and smart-speakers are technologies that
could also be criticised as enabling mega-companies to bypass
systems operated by many others (such as the DNS and/or the
web); a bunch of arguments are fairly generic "confidentiality
mechanisms change who can see what", and lastly, the ability
of current web-browser/service-provider combinations to
quickly change network traffic patterns affects lots more
than just DNS.

I think I also agree with some of Stephane's criticism,
(of this and also of draft-reid) e.g. the recommendations
described here don't seem to me to be justified by the
arguments provided - some I'd agree with, others not, but
the current text just does not justify making that set of
recommendations.

I guess there isn't time before the submission cut-off, and
it depends whether or not you really want this draft to end
up as an RFC, but a serious re-structuring and merging with
draft-reid could help a lot if the authors did want that text
to end up in an RFC.

Cheers,
