Hi there all,

Again, thanks for all of the comments and discussions.

There were a number of discussions where we felt that a consensus call was needed / would be helpful -- there are still others, but Ondrej and myself need to chat more about them.

So, here we go:

1: dane-protocol-16 lacks real introductions
Consensus: 
The authors are requested to flesh out the introduction a little to make is easier for newcomers to understand the point of this. John Gilmore provided sample text, the authors are encouraged to use this as a starting point.

2:   "First" request TLSA records?
Consensus:
The authors are requested to incorporate John's text ("An implementation of this protocol makes a DNS query for TLSA... "
The authors are also requested to update the Section 5 title as discussed in this thread.

3: WGLC thread (hash specs?)
Consensus:
The authors are requested to incorporate the Section 2.1.3 text based upon what Olafur suggested.
Paul Hoffman said : "SHOULDized version based on later suggestions will appear in the next draft.", so it sounds like this is already done.

4: Deduplicate usage semantics in 4 and 2.1.1.
The editors are requested to merge Section 4 and 2.1.1 -- the working group *appears* to prefer Section 4 to 2.1.1, and it was suggested that the first sentence of 2.1.1 become the first sentence of 4. In order to keep the same voice and tone, how exactly to merge this is left to the authors -- the WG will be given a chance to confirm the new text.

5: Stopping TLSA.
Consensus:
The authors are requested to insert text in the security considerations on how to stop using TLSA.
Example text provided by Wouter:
"If an administrator wishes to stop using a TLSA record, the
administrator can simply remove it from the DNS.  Normal clients stop
using the TLSA record after the TTL has expired.  Replay attacks are
no longer possible after the expiration date on the RRSIG."

The authors are also requested to please let the chairs know if these calls are unclear... 
The chairs will chat more about some of the other open discussions / places where clear consensus was not obvious. If the WG feels that the chairs have misjudged consensus on any of the above, please let us know directly....
