On Behalf Of Edward Lewis [snip] > This is an example of an ICANN initiated piece of work that barely got into the IETF, the IETF completed it in a way that has benefit beyond ICANN (meaning many ccTLDs have adopted it on their own accord),
but the IETF didn't make it easy and didn't help the deployment. Actually, I first wrote the protocol in Internet-Draft form and then socialized it among members of the ICANN community. It wasn’t really initiated by ICANN. Scott |
