[DNSOP] Re: Call for Adoption: draft-davies-internal-tld

[Geoff Huston <[e-mail]>]

I am left asking myself: what is the purpose of this document?

I had assumed that the purpose was to provide RFC documentation to justify the inclusion of this label in the Special Use Domain Name registry, but the draft reads: "(Editor note: It not yet decided if the "internal" top-level domain should be added to the list of special-use domain names..."

If there is no intent to add this label to the Special Use registry then what is the intent of this document and why is it being proposed to be an RFC? 

Why is DNSOP being asked to adopt this document if there is no clarity as to what is being proposed here?

thanks,

   Geoff
