RE: Update of RFC 2606 based on the recent ICANN changes ?

["Hallam-Baker, Phillip" <[e-mail]>]

Just register .local and do not assign it in the same way that 10.x.x.x and 192.168.x.x are registered.

Personally, I think that any such list (even one that was not static, 
but existed in the form of an IANA registry) would always be incomplete.

A better approach, I think, would be for proposed TLDs to pass 
technical review through some suitable body who could consider each 
case on its merits.

There will always be others, in my opinion, which is why I think the 
idea of a list of bad ideas is dangerous. Just because things are not 
on the list of bad ideas doesn't mean they are good ideas, but that's 
now how people will interpret it.
