Dear Brian,
ICANN ICP-3 document called for a DNS test-bed to carry experiments in
a given framework (to test various DNS evolutions including the end of
the root). The document lists interesting criteria/conditions. Some
are related to the DNS (non profit, ultimate agreement by the
community). Of the head two are important: reversibility and no harm
to the current operations. The "non profit" can be generailised: if a
community effort is carried to commonly consider an evolution, every
option should be considered and equally supported. Experiments must
not be a way to impose personnal or affinity group doctrines and DoE
(Denial of Evolution). Reversibility would also mean the result cannot
be published as BCP. It may reflect the practice of a group. But it
would not be acceptable to impose it to non participants as there is
no proof it would scale - before the experience convers the whole
network. This means that experience may be a way to deploy or to
transition. Should the IETF has started a large scale IPv6
experimentation, may be would we have IPv6 by competition to the RIRs.
This has been considered.

Thats happening regardless of the IETF - www.public-root.com,
www.inaic.com and www.unifiedroot.com. Failed experiments result in
successful evolution.

Dont forget
http://www.opennic.unrated.net/
http://dot-root.com/
http://root.5wc.ch/
Those who are not commercial are difficult to reach sometimes.
E.g. http://www.opennic.unrated.net/ sometimes can be reached
only as http://www.opennic.glue and you have to add
host_name("131.161.247.68","www.opennic.glue").
to your /etc/hosts to find them.
Still they have nameservers and they happily communicate with
each other without ICANN even nowing about their existence.
Cheers
Peter and Karin

When considering some recent appeals, the IESG discovered that
we have very little guidance about the meaning of "experiments"
in relation to Experimental RFCs. RFC 2026 refers to work which
is "part of some research or development effort" and the IESG
has adopted some guidelines to discriminate between Experimental
and Informational documents (see
http://www.ietf.org/u/ietfchair/draft-iesg-info-exp-01.html ).
But beyond that, we do not know what constitutes an acceptable
experiment on the Internet.
The IESG notes that the community could establish a variety of
guidelines describing what is and is not acceptable in experiments.
Historically, the IESG has made decisions based on its perception
that there is a strong desire in the community to publish technology
that is being deployed experimentally. We encourage community
discussion
and development of more specific guidelines on operational conflicts
caused by experiments and how this should affect what we choose to
publish. (However we recommend that such discussion
focus on the general issue rather than the specifics of any case.)
