First off, I wasn't suggesting that the volunteers running the current solution stop" was much of a risk: it was just the biggest risk I could see for the the WG closing without standardizing on one of the proposed new solutions. Mozilla has a good reason to keep doing the work. On 28 Mar 2016, at 6:26, Murray S.

If the "main" PSL continues to be updated, anyone choosing a fork of the PSL has to have a good reason to do so. I can think of some good reasons that might come up, but as we all know, the chance that even a well-maintained fork could overtake the main one in under a decade are slim. Having said that: if this WG adopts one *or even multiple* of the proposals as Experimental RFCs. and even if just a handful of zone maintainers adopt some of them, Mozilla could use those as input to its own PSL. If Mozilla chooses not to do that, forking the PSL at https://github.com/publicsuffix/list and using the scraped data would be a very low-effort work, and if people coalesced around one fork, Mozilla might say "hey, that's a good idea" or a contingent of users would just use the fork. This might be a good enough reason for DBOUND to move forward with a different charter. Instead of picking one solution for Standards Track with the too-little energy that we seem to have, we could: - Informally help the authors to get the four drafts down to two or three - Get some more review so that the authors can put more "why this proposal might not work for you" sections in their documents - Send them all to the IETF as Experimental at the same time I know that some people find this kind or resolution to IETF efforts to be a failure. Because these could be input to the PSL, or to a popular fork of the PSL if needed, I think this is actually worth our time and a bit more effort. If others like this idea, I'm willing to work on charter text. If others thing I'm crazy, I'm willing to sit here quietly. --Paul Hoffman
