Hi,

FWIW our draft [1] which is currently in IESG conflict review is related =
to this "issue".
Namely, the question of namespace ambiguity is discussed in it [2] as we =
were unable to register a Special-Use TLD in the past [3] (as some of =
you may remember).
There already have been discussions with the ISE regarding this property =
as well.
We currently see three options for our draft:

1. Leave it as is since it is an "informational" document and describes =
the current implementation, possibly leading to a negative conflict =
review response (?).
2. Use a special-use TLD (which would need to be requested again as per =
RFC 6761 with uncertain outcome).
3. Use this approach although I am not particularly happy with the lack =
of a registry for the labels beneath ALT and the resulting length of the =
names.

To me, the purpose of this draft is a bit unclear if RFC6761 exists and =
can be followed and (at least in theory) we could just have special-use =
TLDs for alternative name systems (see 2.).

OTOH, although possibly a bit of sacrilege here, maybe it is also a =
chance to think about a "DNS-NG".
New alternative name systems may be specified and tested without a hard =
requirement on sub-namespaces, but a soft-requirement for namespace =
unambiguity within their deployments.
Because possibly/eventually they may be able to replace the current DNS =
and resolve its names.
For our draft, the question is if a special TLD must/should be specified =
along with the protocol specification or if we can just discuss =
namespace ambiguity and possibly use a "temporary" deployment and =
testing namespace (e.g. "gns.alt" or "whatever you want but beware the =
DNS dragons").

BR
Martin

 Given that in 8 years it has yet to gain enough traction for =
publication, perhaps we de-adopt the draft back into the caring hands of =
its author?  E.g. - back to draft-kumari-something.  Or contribute to =
some flowers for a final burial?
