Recent statements from the Internet Architecture Board (IAB) and the
Internet Corporation of Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Security
and Stability Advisory Committee have focused on the problems that
the DNS is likely to experience with top-level domains (TLDs) that
contain address records (so-called "dotless domains").  In order to
help researchers determine the extent of the issues with dotless
domains, this document lists the current dotless TLDs and gives a
script for finding them.  This document lists data about dotless TLDs
but does not address the policy and technology issues other than to
point to the statements of others.
