Re: [Inip-discuss] Domain Names

[Warren Kumari <[e-mail]>]

You mean this?:
"NIP-discuss is the public discussion list for Internet Names and
Identifiers Program. See the full description at
https://www.iab.org/activities/programs/names-and-identifiers-program/

The inip-discuss list is an open-subscription list, sponsored by the IAB,
intended to be an open venue for discussion of the topics covered in the
scope description for the IAB Internet Names and Identifiers Program (
https://www.iab.org/activities/programs/names-and-identifiers-program/).
These topics broadly include the use and evolution of naming systems for
the Internet, including but not limited to DNS and other protocols that use
domain names. Contributions will be covered by the IETF Note Well (
https://www.ietf.org/about/note-well.html).

The list is intended to provide input and perspective, at the architectural
level, to discussions in current or potential IETF, IAB, or IRTF activities
on the topics the Program was formed to address. It is not intended to
replace or supersede discussions in the IETF on specific protocol matters,
such as those addressed in the charter for the DNSOP WG. It is also not
intended to replace or supersede having a formal membership and
deliverables for the IAB program, which is managed at the discretion of the
IAB."

The IAB page says (amongst other things):
"The program seeks to provide a useful framework for thinking about naming
and resolution issues for the internet in general, and to deliver
recommendations for future naming or resolution systems.

The scope of initial investigations is deliberately somewhat open, but
could include:

some basic terminology: what do we mean by "names," "identifiers," and
"name resolution" in the internet? What attributes of naming systems and
identifiers are important with regards to comparison, search, human
accessibility,
overview: where are naming protocols and infrastructure important to the
work of the IETF (and perhaps elsewhere)? Where is the DNS being used (and
perhaps stretched too far)? What other identifier systems are we coming up
with, and how well are those efforts working? This area will include
examination of some of the naming systems under development or in use
elsewhere, such as NDN, as a way of informing our thinking.
For protocols (inside the IETF or outside), what should protocol designers
know about re-using existing naming systems or inventing their own? Are
there guidelines we can usefully provide?"

Which leads to some of my confusions about how this related to the design
team vs discussions in dnsop, what the status of all this is, etc.
