RE: Re updating the "DNS Debugging Tools" Doc

As one of the proposed editors of the FYI27 document I am more than
happy to let it go :-)

As a chair, I would point out that we had some agreement to split FYI7
into two documents and FYI15 into maybe two documents so I think the
group would have more than enough to do without FYI27 on the agenda.
