Jefsey, Just to understand the relationship between your reality and mine, what "ICANN request for an update of RFC 2826" are you talking about? Certainly there was some discussion within ICANN circles about whether 2826 meant what it said. But, of course, anyone can say just about anything in an ICANN meeting or on an ICANN mailing list as long as it is consistent with the organization's norms for appropriate behavior (just as with Internet Drafts and IETF mailing lists). Such a comment is not equivalent to an "ICANN request". I am aware of one informal inquiry from an ICANN staff member as to whether the IAB was likely to have more to say on the subject. The informal response (from one of the editors of 2826 but with general sympathy from the IAB) was, if I recall, approximately "which part of 'unique' are you having trouble understanding?". At least in my memory and reality, there has been no "ICANN request" for an update, much less one that has been "unanswered or opposed". Could you explain what you are talking about and identify the request to which you are referring? Or stop this, lest the claim about such a request become part of Harald's 3683 case? john _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
