My first thought after reading the tl;dr was, "what do I do about it"? The answer is at the end of the article: the working group is accepting comments on the matter at a certain email address.
Our privacy online and off is already being deeply threatened on many other fronts. If you think this proposal is bad for our privacy and bad for our internet, please take a moment and email your thoughts to the working group.
I wonder if a decentralized type of DNS, like blockchain-based DNS, will ever take off. If we even have an acceptable alternative right now, I suppose the first meaningful step towards adoption would be baking support in to a major browser.
1) Make sure to click on a link in the follow-up email they send you in order for your comment to go through.
2) The contents of your email (though it seems not the email address itself) will be made public, so if you don't want your real name in the open, don't sign with it.
