The IESG has received a request from the Home Networking WG (homenet) to consider the following document: - 'Special Use Domain 'home.arpa.'' <draft-ietf-homenet-dot-12.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2017-08-25. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document specifies the behavior that is expected from the Domain Name System with regard to DNS queries for names ending with '.home.arpa.', and designates this domain as a special-use domain name. 'home.arpa.' is designated for non-unique use in residential home networks. Home Networking Control Protocol (HNCP) is updated to use the 'home.arpa.' domain instead of '.home'. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-homenet-dot/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-homenet-dot/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
