Re: [DNSOP] WGLC for draft-ietf-dnsop-alt-tld

Dear DNSOP,

I support advancing the document in its current form.

There's a broken sentence in Section 5:

"Care must be taken to ensure that the mapping of thepseudo-TLD into its corresponding non-DNS name resolution system inorder to get whatever security is offered by that system."

--> the "that" clause lacks a verb. (... ensure that the mapping ... [what]?)

At the occasion of fixing that, I'll also note two other suggestions / potential improvements:

- Section 2: "wastes resources": whose? Only the root servers' mentioned in the same sentence? Suggestion: "wastes resources on both the resolver and the root server side."

- Section 5: Amend the last sentence with something like "in particular, the risk of collisions with and subsequent compromise through other naming systems existing now or in the future should be considered". (I know the previous versions has something similar, but this is less strong, and I think it's worthwhile pointing out what people are getting into.)

Thanks,
Peter

Due to the end-of-year holidays, we’re starting it now and will give it four weeks.

Managing the potential for misunderstanding or differences of opinion among relevant organizations is the primary reason why the IETF has liaison relationships. The IETF liaison to the ICANN Board is Harald Alvestrand, who has been monitoring the conversations about alt-tld on the mailing list and has discussed the draft with the chairs and with Rob Wilton as the responsible AD.
