I am a newcomer. I came here against my better judgement as I stated on 
the IETF list. I immediately had my head chopped off and told to go away 
by a working group chair in less than 24 hours. If the number of packets 
exchanged in the initial handshake of a transport protocol is off topic, 
I am speechless. My better judgement wasn't that it was off topic, it 
was that this outcome is the ordinary behavior of insular IETF working 
groups.

I also got told that signing a zone is tantamount to "boiling the 
ocean". As IETF chair, do you agree with that? Because if it's true then 
there are serious issues with DNSSec and we should do something about 
it. I think it's nonsense, fwiw.

Mike, and what exactly are those venues? tia.
