Re: [DNSOP] On the call for adoption on Special Use Names (Please! Pretty please, with a cherry on top?!)

[George Michaelson <[e-mail]>]

Thats precisely why its NOT a false analogy: the design model in the
IETF is that the value doesn't matter, but in the DNS, the design
model is "follow the money" and 6761 crosses the bars: it enables
people in tech-space, to reserve labels in meat-space.

We got it wrong. We should have encouraged s/w designers not to brand
their DNS breakout string early, but provided a mechanism to give them
a token under .arpa, or something else, pending a decision, and we
should have made it clear the specific string wasn't their chosing. If
they see inherent value in the string, then they immediately walked to
being an applicant in ICANN gTLD space: the technical merit argument
doesn't relate.

Sorry John, but to me its not a "false analogy" its exactly what I
meant. 6761 is a process fail.
