Just to add to Ondrej's answer:
Yes, DNS is definitely of high interest to the community. However, there is already
a WG dedicated to DNS, so we thought it doesn't make sense to cover DNS in two
WGs. So, yes, in some kind of way, we excluded DNS from the charter (for now).

But we are open for discussion.
