As part of the IETF standards process, the IESG recently approved ‘The .onion Special-Use Domain Name’ (draft-ietf-dnsop-onion-tld-01.txt) as a Proposed Standard. I wanted to briefly summarize some points of the process to date, and share an outcome of the IESG’s discussion that suggests possible future IETF work. http://www.ietf.org/blog/2015/09/onion/ Jari Arkko, IETF Chair
