I think that in regards to the management and supervision of .ARPA I'd suggest to include RFC3172 and RFC2860 as a reference. I find that using the word "Registry" will IMHO create some confusion with ICANNland. The list of reserved names from ICANN's DAGv3 2.1.1.2 you included in your message applies only to potential gTLDs, this list may become very dynamic and multilingual, how do you expect to include these names in your draft ? There are some particular names that based on the criteria defined in your draft can be listed as "Special" and "Reserved" like WHOIS, WWW, etc. Also from the proposed ICANN's Registry Agreement Article 2, Registry (in ICANN's sense of the word) Operators "may establish policies concerning the reservation or blocking of additional character strings within the TLD at its discretion", then how do you propose to incoporate also those names to the "reserved list" ? Who is or should be the "authority" that will be responsible and assigned the task to keep the "list" updated ?
