Re: [DNSOP] About reserving .corp, .home, and .mail

[Warren Kumari <[e-mail]>]

Yup. This is very similar to what the earlier JAS report (
https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/name-collision-mitigation-26feb14-en.pdf)
said:
RECOMMENDATION 1: The TLDs .corp, .home, and .mail be permanently
reserved for internal use and receive RFC 1918-like protection/treatment,
potentially via RFC 6761.

The slidedeck presented at the NameCollisions workshop said:
"The TLDs .corp, .home and .mail should be permanently reserved"

Their new recommendation is almost exactly the same:
RECOMMENDATION 1: The TLDs .corp, .home, and .mail be referred to the
 Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) for potential RFC 1918-like
 protection/treatment.

So, yay for consistency.

However, draft-chapin-additional-reserved-tlds (
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-chapin-additional-reserved-tlds-02) tried
to do exactly this.
>From the Abstract:
"This document reserves three domain name labels for special use in
accordance with the criteria and procedures of [RFC6761]: home, corp,
and mail."

On July 14th, 2015 DNSOP decided not to adopt this document -
https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/dnsop/current/msg14887.html

This is all part of the larger discussions on the IETF handling of RFC6761
/ Special Use Names (a topic which will make me start frothing at the
mouth, and run my dinner), so I'm going to jsut leave it at that...
