Hello,

This request is for the registration of the "application/oblivious-dns-message" media type as defined in Section 10 of draft-pauly-dprive-oblivious-doh:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-pauly-dprive-oblivious-doh/ <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-pauly-dprive-oblivious-doh/>
https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-pauly-dprive-oblivious-doh-07.html <https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-pauly-dprive-oblivious-doh-07.html>

I’ve included the details below.

This document is being taken through the ISE. It is foundational work for OHAI / Oblivious HTTP, and informs that WG. I’ve spoken with Francesca Palombini (who checked with Murray) about IESG approval for this media type being on the standards tree, and they were supportive.

Best,
Tommy & Chris
