Dear Andrew and all:
Thanks to Andrew for looking at this. I guess I completely agree with
your analysis.
I regret that a discussion about "conflict of interest" started after
Rob asserted his independence in his wg co-chair role [1].
As far as I am concerned, I presume Rob's good faith when making this
assertion.
Moreover, thanks to Andrew's analysis (e.g. excerpt below), I am
convinced that the circumstances do not justify any stronger criteria of
"conflict of interest".
Now that the draft-koch-dnsop-resolver-priming is adopted as as WG work
item, and that an IPR disclosure has been filed [2], I would request Rob
to revisit his (premature) directive regarding this work [3], and
retract it. Thanks for looking into this.

Which brings me to my second problem. As nearly as I can tell, there
are no clear conflict of interest guidelines for working groups in
general, and the IETF has previously concluded that such a state of
affairs is a good thing. Instead, the principle has been that working
group members (i.e. everybody participating) should make their
arguments and see whther they get the support of the WG community; and
then follow the usual chain of appeals in the event they are
unsatisfied. [...]
[...] so far I'm not seeing a lot of support for the idea
that there is a real conflict of interest in this particular case.
