The Internet Domain Name System (DNS) defines a tree of names
starting with root, ".", immediately below which are top level domain
(TLD) names such as ".com" and ".us". RFC2606 reserved a small
number of TLD names for use in documentation examples, private
testing, experiments, and other circumstances in which it is
desirable to avoid conflict with current or future actual TLD names
in the DNS. The evolution of Internet engineering and operation
practices since RFC2606 was published in 1999, and the expected
addition of new TLD names to the DNS, recommend this update to the
list of reserved TLD names, and the creation of a "reserved TLD name
registry" to which additional names may be added as new requirements
arise.
It is important to note that TLD names may be reserved, in other
contexts, for policy, political, or other reasons that are distinct
from the IETF's concern with Internet engineering and operations.
This document reserves TLD names only for operational and engineering
reasons.
