Dear Saag,

It seems that a large number of proposals, from OHAI, DOH, Privacy
Pass and most recently some IP privacy work have received the same
kind of pushback around 'discovery': the argument that we need a
mechanism for clients to find a large list of available and willing
intermediaries. The challenge here is that we have not seen a
proposal, and it doesn't seem to answer the real issues about
diversity of intermediates, user trust in what they discover, or
address any of the very real issues around user experience.

I think this is a necessary discussion to have once rather than
constantly relitigate.

Sincerely,
Watson Ladd
