Abstract


   This document defines an operational convention that uses the
   reserved underscored DNS leaf node name "_for-sale" to indicate that
   the parent domain name is available for purchase.  The convention can
   be deployed without disrupting existing operations, and it may be
   applied even when the domain name is still actively in use.
