The IESG has received a request from the Domain Name System Operations WG (dnsop) to consider the following document: - 'The .onion Special-Use Domain Name' <draft-ietf-dnsop-onion-tld-00.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 2015-08-11. 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 uses the Special-Use Domain Names registry to register the '.onion' Top Level Domain (TLD) for the Tor Network. This is deemed necessary for hosts on the ToR network to apply for and receive legitimate SSL Certificates. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsop-onion-tld/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsop-onion-tld/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
