I've done another version of my reserved names draft. This time it proposes four registries: 1. Reserved and special top level names. ARPA is special, the others are reserved. 2. Reserved and special second level names. EXAMPLE.COM, ORG, and NET are reserved in the RFCs. ICANN has many more that I'd hope they would add to the regsistry, e.g., EXAMPLE.<everything else>. I'm not aware of any special 2LDs, but who knows what might be lurking. 3. Names in .ARPA. This updates the list in RFC 3172 and makes it a registry. They're all special unless SINK.ARPA is approved in which case it would be reserved. 4. Names that are special elsewhere. _service, _DOMAINKEY, etc. I'd be delighted to take this out if the project to codify service and protocol names agrees to include the handful of other _blah names defined in RFCs. http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-levine-reserved-names-registry-01.txt R's, John _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
