Re: [apps-discuss] "finding registered domains"

["Murray S. Kucherawy" <[e-mail]>]

For the sake of taking some hallway track conversation and writing it down
somewhere:

The origin for this work from my perspective is the need for being able to
make policy statements about a registered domain and all of its
subdomains.  For example, given a.b.c.d.example.com, I'd like to be able to
discover somehow that a domain-level policy record could be found at
example.com, where example.com is the domain name that has been assigned by
a registry.  This would allow for example.co.uk to be similarly discovered,
i.e., the solution accommodates the idea that delegations don't happen at
the first label.

Today I learned that there's also a need for a solution to this or a
similar problem related to the use of cookies.

I'd like to understand how these are related, or instead how they are
actually totally different problem spaces.  I think this is important to
figuring out a path forward.

This has nothing to do with Andrew's proposal directly.  I'm just trying to
establish what the audience(s) might be, rather than focusing on my
specific use case.
