The policy defined in RFC 6761 for IANA registrations in the
"Special-Use Domain Names" registry has been shown, through
experience, to present challenges that were not anticipated when RFC
6761 was written.  This memo presents a list, intended to be
comprehensive, of the problems that have since been identified.  In
addition, it reviews the history of domain names and summarizes
current IETF publications and some publications from other
organizations relating to Special-Use Domain Names.

This document should be considered required reading for IETF
participants who wish to express an informed opinion on the topic of
Special-Use Domain Names.

This document is a product of the Domain Name System Operations Working Group of the IETF.
