[cooperation-wg] DNS-based filtering

	Hello.

	Erika's mention of the need "to decrease the gap in the dialogue between governments and the technical community"
	and a current thread on the bind-users mailing list made me wonder whether the report I mention in the message
	below is as well known as I think it deserves to be outside the DNS technical community and certain parts of the
	wider French Internet community.


	Best regards,
	Niall O'Reilly
