[DNSOP] discussion for draft-appelbaum-dnsop-onion-tld-00.txt

[Jacob Appelbaum <[e-mail]>]

Hi,

I realized after uploading that I hadn't sent this along for discussion.

Hopefully it is a topic of discussion in Dallas.  Tor's onion names
are widely deployed and used by lots of folks all around the world.
Our deployment size isn't news or really much of a discussion point -
rather, I'm primarily concerned about users who have certificates
issued to .onion names. Our Special Use Domain Name for consideration
is directly related to things happening in the CAB forum. The CAB
Forum context is here:
https://cabforum.org/2015/02/18/ballot-144-validation-rules-dot-onion-names/
- most importantly is the date October 1st. On that date we'll have a
death day for currently issued certifcates with .onion names. This
makes the onion name issue rather time sensitive and without further
action, some stuff will likely break.

The draft announcement is here:
